Tor was broken in beta long before it mainstream.  What would you day if I
said there was a list of every tor user and relay and that list was started
when there were as few as 800 users???  Saw the list way back when.  the
government is willing to spend 7.55 billion to get into our shorts at the
airport.
What makes you think they wouldn't spend a couple million to make a bunch
of tor relays that don't  play by the rules and swamp the system with a
bunch of Tor Spybot relays?  Who needs vulnerabilities.
