Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:12 mikeperry]:
 > The CircuitPadding torrc option has been merged to master, FYI (#28693).
 This can be implemented once swbs start using 0.4.1.

 sbws uses the installed Tor version. So we should add the CircuitPadding
 option to sbws. But put it in the list of options that might fail at
 runtime.

 > The actual padding machines we're implementing (#28634) only pad HS
 circuits, though, which sbws does not use. So this is not essential yet,
 even when 0.4.1 is stable.

 Thanks, that's useful for us to know.
