Actually, I think he/she does want this easily-accessible to bot creators. And I think I do, too. Because it might escalate the captcha war perhaps to something besides CloudFlare's awful policy of forcing Tor users to complete a handful of captchas every time we load a page. I don't have a lot of faith that CloudFlare would do something to improve the user experience, but I am fairly certain they would do something to reduce their internal operating costs (don't serve pages to tor users without captcha completion, don't respond to DNS ANY queries, only use SSL to the nearest edge location, etc). For those of us tired of completing tons of CloudFlare's Tor captchas, I eagerly await something that ends up costing CloudFlare more to maintain the captchas than it's worth. Such as, for example, bot creators being able to circumvent the captchas easily. CloudFlare could just turn off Tor access, but they're not afraid of the impact of their technical decisions. And there will probably eventually be some way around that, too. That's the nature of an arms race.
