I definitely think that's part of it
Discussion
What else do you think we could need? (Nymble is looking to commission a smart relay in the near future and would like to get some perspective on what else should be built into it)
Well-established strategies that people can expect smart relays to implement. DVMs that can perform aggregation/analysis/discovery on relays, including AUTH-protected ones. Clients that can use smart relays. Conventions for using different relays differently. Lots of things, mostly based on establishing good conventions and a shared mental model for this stuff.
