I'm not saying Freedombox should avoid Tor. I agree, it seems like a
good fit.
But I'm not knowledgeable enough about all other possible cryptographic
mix networks or alternate routing proposals to rule all of them out and
state that Tor is unequivocally a requirement for anyone wanting to
implement the freedombox vision.
And even if i wanted to do that, i haven't contributed enough (anything,
really) to the concrete work of the project to presume to tell the
people actually doing the work what is or isn't a requirement.
Note also that Tor brings with it its own bit of centralized control, in
the form of the 8 directory authorities [0] (4 need to be compromised
for an adversary to gain control over your tor connection), but i think
that's an improvement over the status quo, at least.
