As I have already replied on the page: I am in full support of such a move as I am myself affected by the blocking in China and being able to use TOR would enable me to edit while over there.

Even of you don't use proxies, an advantage of this would be that you don't have to worry about being "collateral damage" because some some idiot on your ISP is trolling, vandalizing and/or socking.
