New description:

 We should think about getting rid of the Hello/Loop extension. As gacar
 mentioned (https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 qa/2016-April/000809.html) it is quite large (1.6 MB) and is probably not
 running anyway as we are disable WebRTC at compile time and Firefox Hello
 is not active either.
