Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:1 cypherpunks]:
 > No, respecting the user's torrc settings is **not** a bug ir a bad
 thing. The root problem here is Sponsor R, inappropriate closeness between
 Tor and the US government, and dictats from them being shamefully and
 ineffectively laundered as "community decisions".

 Sorry Mr angry person, but you are mistaken.

 If you want the default to be different, that's a different topic.

 This bug is about Tor not respecting its default in a surprising way.

 And the goal is that Tor *should* obey its torrc settings, and it
 shouldn't write a torrc line when the user didn't mean to or know it was
 doing it.
