&gt; We actually noticed these relays when they joined the network, since the DocTor scanner reported them. We considered the set of new relays at the time, and made a decision that it wasn&#x27;t that large a fraction of the network. It&#x27;s clear there&#x27;s room for improvement in terms of how to let the Tor network grow while also ensuring we maintain social connections with the operators of all large groups of relays.<p>Sounds like they did know?
