Keep in mind that the code for tx relay is fairly different and the bandwidth for transaction relay on these nodes is already lower than it is for blocks (by design). That said, I'd like to look into doing tx-less block relays for transactions that peers already have to limit block relay times even for large blocks, in which case tx relay is very much required.
