Browsing via TOR is not blocked.
And as for someone who prefers to *edit* the web more anonymously,
well, I don't see any reason Wikipedia (or anyone else) needs to
indulge them. They only gain anonymity from checkusers, and I *hope*
we think that's a bad thing -- else why have the rank to begin with?

From the raw IPs, I agree. However, if we have a user
wishing to edit
via TOR and they have a registered account, we should grant them
ipblock-exempt. TOR's still hardblocked, yes. Anon edits aren't allowed
in. However, single users who wish to edit and can be trusted should
be allowed to do so.
It's not as though giving them ipblock-exempt suddenly makes the IP
free and wild for everyone. Nor does it permit them to confer the right
onto other accounts. It's easy to keep an eye on a single user.
