Comment (by rustybird):

 I posted IsolateKeepAlive.patch after
 [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/FXgO2cB8qxs a long
 discussion on the Qubes mailing list about the state of TorVM vis-à-vis TB
 4.5]. Quick summary: They would need to switch from installing the
 official torproject.org tor RPM to building and patching tor themselves...

 The idea was that it might be possible to merge the IsolateKeepAlive
 approach to stable tor sooner than the previous approach, because it
 remains backward compatible with longstanding IsolateSOCKSAuth semantics.
