If relays had pubkey identities that were checked in protocol, relays could publish events advertising which IP address(es) they are running off of. Then we could ditch DNS and certificates, people's trust in a particular relay would follow the key rather than the domain name, and relays could inhabit many IP addresses and be seen as the same relay.
