Comment(by atagar):

 When there's a solid plan I'll add the same support to arm too. A long
 while back Jake mentioned the idea of having a parallel 'safe control
 port' which just had read-only access (in this case with an option to
 allow NEWNYM as well). I kinda favor that option but if there's no one
 willing to make the modification in Tor then the second option certainly
 sounds easier.

 Cheers! -Damian
