Comment:

 > For security and privacy reasons, I do not access the internet without
 passing my traffic through Tor or a VPN. To prevent discrimination against
 at-risk folks, it's important that WordPress servers do not block traffic
 from shared networks, such as VPNs or Tor exit nodes.


 Unfortunately these networks are a high source of malicious traffic,
 there's not a lot we can do to resolve that, in the interests of ensuring
 that WordPress.org is accessible to the majority sometimes results in a
 small minority paying the price.

 That being said, I've mentioned this to systems, but I do not expect any
 changes.
