This influences path selection on the client without too good a reason,
it also increases complexity on the dirauths even more. It would also
mean yet larger consensuses to make these results public. Not a good
plan.

This is a misunderstanding. It just means that clients don't know
that a relay doesn't allow exiting to an individual IP address. The
relay in question will still disallow the request to exit there.
