Literally millions of people could, and probably would, be using that
exit node.
So that is plain discrimination. It's not spammer management.
Forcing people to identify themselves, is also not about spammer
management either.
The D Foundation IS now discimantory against those that want that
believe that freedom and privacy is some to be protected.
This becomes problematic for those of us who work in 'certain
organisations', that insist on tracking it's employees online activities
(even outside of the workplace).
It's a shame the D Foundation has finally succumed to the big brother
mentality - under the guise of protecting you from spam.

I'm with you on a lot of that, however, this part troubles me:
"This becomes problematic for those of us who work in 'certain
organisations', that insist on tracking it's employees online activities

If I worked in such an organization that tracked its employees
activities *outside the workplace*, I'd LEAVE it ASAP, and I'd strongly
suggest anyone else do the same. I mean what insane workplace is that,
the 1920's mob? Apple?
Honestly, if you believe strongly enough in Tor to use it, why in the
world would you willfully aid and abed an organization that does that
sort of thing? It doesn't make any sense at all. It's EXTREMELY
self-contradictory and completely erodes your entire stance. If you're
going to preach for personal freedom and privacy, at least have the
basic integrity to LIVE the basic ideals you're preaching even when
doing so ISN'T so trivial as installing a mere web browser.
