   Perhaps. Though I think tor's basic design and inertia
   may be unsuited to GPA resistant mods, such that new
   project[s] would be better ground for trialing that. Doesn't
   mean that current nets can't be drawn from.

   Yes, that's why I said a "net positive".

   Usually, that's true.  The most obvious counter-examples today include
   Venezuela and Greece.  There is a difference, albeit small, between a
   government taking an action to deliberately kill itself, as opposed to
   a government taking an action will will eventually cause that
   government to be killed.  To a first approximation, both amount to
   "suicide".

   I include that kind of event as being "suicide".
