Scott Bennett was quite confused by this (see this thread for details,
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Sep-2010/msg00023.html ).
In theory we could change the ROUTERSET config type to be one of the types
that you can only append to, not replace by setting another entry later
on.
I'm not sure we should change this for 0.2.2.x, first because we are in
feature freeze and second because this changes behaviour that someone
might rely upon (setting the option via controller for example, expecting
this to overwrite, not append to the previously specified entry). For this
reason I'm not sure that's a good idea at all; now with Tor warning about
this kind of configuration setup we should at least confuse fewer users
about thinking that they can use more than one line to specify *Nodes.
