He just asked to keep political FUD off the list. And I'm completely agree with him, IMHO unfounded (and founded probably also:-) talks about bloody regime are not for this mailing list. YMMV. As for banning Skype in Russia, AFAICT it's FUD also. Everything seems to be based on some discussions in The Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (just hysterics by mobile operators loosing market share?). It's somewhat troubling but I'm not sure it's worth much discussion until there are some concrete details. What the OP proposes is also somewhat strange. Build the possibility to "call to ordina[r]y telephones" into Tor? Sure, just add some PSTN exit nodes... Alexander Cherepanov
