 > Do you want to downgrade this error to a warning that the torrc may not
 work with future tor versions?

 This is a good idea. We can notify the user and tell them that UTF-8 is
 desirable and will get quite important in future versions.

 I pushed a fixup commit in `ticket27380_036_01`.
 See the PR: ​https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/459

 Simply warning with a longer message and then continuing.
