the exit node sniffing isn't a problem with Tor but user carelessness
/ ineptitude.  web2.0 and wireless are just as guilty. [0]

as for the vulnerability reports, only one moderately critical
vulnerability across the 0.1.1.x and 0.1.2.x life times is not bad at
all.  particularly when you consider the control port issues was
patched, binaries built, and announcement delivered in _hours_, not
days, weeks, or months as is common.
