to be clear about what this feature does: it was already possible to add more rules, and these rules would apply to new connections made from your exit, but it would *not* kill existing connections which violate the new policy. `ReevaluateExitPolicy` allows reevaluating the new exit policy on existing connections, killing any connection that would no longer be allowed. This was previously possible only by restarting the relay, killing every good connection in the process. This feature has been available in 0.4.9 for some time now, but that version is not considered stable yet. If as an exit relay operator you are running 0.4.8 and regularly restart your relay to force-apply a new exit policy on old connections, or have wished you could do that, but didn't because of the large side effects, please make it known either by replying in this thread, or by thumbs-up-ing boldsuck's comment on https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/merge_requests/735 .
