Unless people want to trial on

sure we are there yet)
There also needs to be a good answer to the
"attribution problem" that has
long been identified as a secondary concern related to Tor and other proxy
systems. The absence of a good answer to this issue may be sufficient in
itself to derail any proposed trial.
Which problem is that?
Not saying a trial can't happen....just making it clear that it's not
something that is within the purview of developers (volunteer or staff)
because the blocking of Tor has always been directly linked to behaviour
and core policy, not to technical issues.
I agree that any such trial should have local community buy in.
