 The message

 {{{
 The WarnUnsafeSocks option is deprecated, and will most likely be removed
 in a future version of Tor. Changing this option makes it easier for you
 to accidentally lose your anonymity by leaking DNS information (If you
 think this is a mistake, please let us know!)
 }}}

 now appears when starting tor since a version upgrade.

 I am a expert user of Tor and have several script that issue `torsocks dig
 +tcp` commands performing forward and reverse DNS queries.  Have set
 `WarnUnsafeSocks` to 0 to eliminate the  spamming of my logs with warnings
 about explicit IP addresses passing through SOCKS.

 The option is useful and should be retained.
