Hi,

Please don't cross post to multiple lists, it makes it hard for people to follow all the responses.
Can I suggest that everyone replies to tor-dev, as it's the list for Tor development, feature, and issue discussion.
(The other list you used is for Tor relay operators to discuss relay operation and configuration.)
