 * milestone:  Tor: 0.2.9.x-final => Tor: 0.2.???


Comment:

 There are currently no plans to do this, since we still don't know how to
 do it in a cross-platform manner.

 Platform-specific approaches might be worth considering, but they would
 require a proposal and everything.

 Pushing this out of 0.2.9 for now.
