They have explicitly stated that certain features, including chaff fill
packets at the protocol layer, have been not granted funding.

I have suggested a failure to "tweak" their grant proposals/ begging,
but in that case when the tweak was discovered by the funders, bad faith
would have been shown to the superiors.

Witness also the subtly extreme rebukes against anyone who suggests
using bittorrent over Tor - not by the head honcho email addys, but such
suggestions consistently draw out a spitting snake in response.

Everyone is of course free to draw conclusions assuming good faith by
all players to the greatest extent delusionable.
