Replying to [comment:13 mo]:
> Hm. I don't like how you need to specifically enable this. Can't we make
it so it picks up torrc*?
Could you elaborate on why you do not like it?
Modifying a single line in a config file to opt-in doesn't seem to be a
big effort, no?
(and my ansible role will take care of that as well ;)
The motivation was to preserve old behaviour and provide an smooth upgrade
path that doesn't break for users not expecting this.
If you start parsing any torrc files without explicitly requiring opt-in,
this will likely break things somewhere I guess.
