Hi John,

I think 5% exit share is fine, and 10% is probably a bit too high.

That means as you grow past 5%, you should work with the other big exit
relay operator groups -- torservers, Nos Oignons, DFRI, Frënn vun der
Ënn, Hart Voor Internetvrijheid, NoiseTor, and the many more out there --
to get them to pick up the pace on their side. :)
