You can't reject a real use-case with a hypothetical use-case. Tor
users have good reasons to be willing to protect their privacy, and this
is not your call to make. This has nothing to do with some hypothetical
use-case for historical hardware.
The original poster is certainly shouting a bit too loudly about
GNUradio "DoSing" users. But Cloudflare has been a real problem for
privacy and the decentralized Web. It's only incidental that its
platform shields somehow content-sharing sites from MPAA and other
'Intellectual Property' racketeers. But generally, Cloudflare
technology is an anti-privacy wall, and the GNU project, for
consistency, should not condone this service.
An easy reply to our anonymous friend would be to give him access to a
mirror site that does not use Cloudflare. But I suppose a Tor user is
also savvy enough to find that themselves. The problem here is the use
of Cloudflare--an anti-privacy service--to promote freedom.
