Perhaps. Though I think tor's basic design and inertia
may be unsuited to GPA resistant mods, such that new
project[s] would be better ground for trialing that. Doesn't
mean that current nets can't be drawn from.

Yes, that's why I said a "net positive".

Usually, that's true. The most obvious counter-examples today include
Venezuela and Greece. There is a difference, albeit small, between a
government taking an action to deliberately kill itself, as opposed to a
government taking an action will will eventually cause that government to be
killed. To a first approximation, both amount to "suicide".
