That's good, I think :)

What I need is help understanding the privacy implications. I'm going to
explore possibilities for moving long transfers randomly across sets of
subflows. Using "roundrobin" as mptcp_scheduler instead of "fullmesh"
would be a start. That would also spread load across more relays.
Another possibility is aggregating OnionCat and GarliCat links, so
transfers would be split between Tor and I2P.

I'm not expecting constructive feedback from Tor devs :(
