That has always been the intention. You will have read my mail
explaining that what I suggested is impossible without an unacceptable
security risk from keeping extra records?

That is considerably more difficult. Sure you can find a public node and
use that via Tor (which by the way is centralized and therefore
vulnerable), but that's about the limit. You could hide an entire node
behind a fake address provided by Tor or I2P, but this would make it
extremely slow (and therefore not used by other nodes much, on any
routing algorithm that takes performance into account).
