On the other hand, there are some real downsides to having large relays

the large relays in the network, but there are many more where we don't
know them.
And of course, confirming that some email address can receive email is
not the same as knowing the operators.
There's also the issue where a small number of relays fail to update,
and are eventually excluded from the network. These people still think
they are contributing, and because they don't have email addresses,
there's no way to let them know that they need to update. It's not
impossible to have an OTR/email address (etc) and still be anonymous.
Especially for exits, there should be contact information. It's a
fairly minor requirement when compared to the time and expense that
running an exit entails. Middle nodes? Maybe not.
