[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] anon-proxy still useful?

It seems that upstream development stopped in 2009. There have been
quite some developments in this area since then (most of it being
reflected in updates to the Tor design), and I have concerns that
anon-proxy may not safe to use nowadays.

It seems that their set of free relays is very low:

I guess that Lunar would know more than me about it, but with the
limited info I have in hand, I would recommend _not_ including
anon-proxy in any stable Debian release (and even more so an outdated
release).

Cheers,
