FWIW, I set IP block exempt on Jake's account a few years ago, but to my
frustration it looks like someone removed it because of inactivity.
(Editorializing a bit, I don't see much value in the removal; while it is
true that an inactive user's account could be broken into, the permission
extends to a single account, which can be blocked like any other if it
starts to act unproductively.)

Hi,
during the 30C3 Congress [1] in Hamburg - where neither Wikipedia
Foundation nor MediaWiki were formally present this year (but should be
next year)-
Jacob Appelbaum [2] - core member of the TOR project - complained in one
of his numerous talks that the (edit) access to Wikipedia via TOR is not
possible.
He requested that a way should be found to enable the TOR access
including edit access to Wikipedia.
I am just the messenger of this message.
Regards,
Tom
