Yeah, your suggestion sounds good.

But remember: What tor is doing is hard. They are doing complex crypto, networking, security.... The hard stuff. The real stuff. Torproject is a nonprofit organization with limited capabilities. They are doing their best. It took 3 years to design and implement dos mitigation techniques, for example.

Your proposed plan could take over 10 years, even for a well funded corporation. It might take time and fail. It might create huge vulnerability due to code complexity. Afaik, tor can’t risk that.

Agreed, as I said, "I'm sure the tradeoffs made by the Tor team make sense within the context of their constraints."
