Comment (by warner):

 My pal George Tankersley suggested a great idea for this today:

 {{{
 [node]
 reveal-IP-address = false
 }}}

 (the default value of `reveal-IP-address=` is True, when left unspecified)

 That is specific (Tor/I2P are only about not revealing your IP address),
 non-negatively-connotative, and encourages the obvious constructive
 question of "why the heck isn't `false` the default?" (which then begins
 the conversation about performance consequences of Tor/I2P connections and
 the additional install/run-time dependencies).
