 We did not get the Unix domain socket support finished in the 6.5aX
 timeline and need to back out the patches for 6.5 stable. (For the
 background see: #20761). According to mcs:
 {{{
 we will need to back out:
 > * 8871259c966755233b134a5ddb2b4926539d25c6 (#14272)
 > * fa4e114a20067810af0c5cc6a57aa6e849386418 (#14272 fixup)
 > * 8ca52414916c3d8bc2a2974017d759901ddc1736 (#20111)
 > * 4dd8f6130f931616cf014e0ded444c30e04c8bad (#20185)
 >
 > There are also Torbutton patches for #14272 and #20111, although it may
 be okay to leave the code in place (the code implements fallbacks).
 }}}
 I think we should back out the Torbutton ones as well to not risk any
 inteference we have not tested. There are tor-browser backports as well we
 can think about backing out.
