Whenever you make a big project that threatens the major stuff, people
   come in and mess it up, put others in powerful roles, send misleading
   communications, adjust websites and dialogues to change public impact,
   spend lots of money ... It's great to change that, but it's also just
   what happens.
   Tor's ability to leave functionality gaps hinges on its users being
   unable to take advantage of them easily themselves.
   But if you can go into a community and creatively lobby more
   effectively than the people already do so, things change.  Revealing
   things repeatedly can also help.
   Thinking a little on an app that users could use that reveals tcp
   traffic at a distance.  Maybe by measuring changes in torrent and other
   transfer speeds?  It's a small statistic, but once something's
   significant it's there to display.
