> No idea why the randhops should be so high.  Anyone else know?

Oops, major stupid comment on my part.  The reason those remailers have
such high randhop stats is because of pings.  Every ping to a middleman
is hardcoding that node as an Exit and resulting in a randhop.

I think that puts me back on the fence as to whether pingers should be
whitelisted.

Minus points:
* Whitelisting obscures bad stats which cause unreliable randhopping
  capability.
* Whitelisting is a pain to maintain.

Plus points:
* Latency reporting is accurate.
* Uptime is not biased by a third-party remailer.
* Removes potential for rogue exit remailer to bias pinger results.
