Comment:

 In my new found role as human mail-to-Trac proxy, quoting Roger here:

 "I'm not clear on whether we want to change the interface to be the one
 Stegotorus tried to use. But it does seem clear that Tor's current
 interface is not the one that everybody wants. We should try to learn our
 lesson from how Stegotorus tries to use Tor, and see if it's something we
 should change on Tor's side, or instead write up a "recommendation for how
 to interface with Tor correctly if you're in Stegotorus's situation".

 I think this is something that Nick and Andrea would have good opinions
 about."
