Comment (by meejah):

 Currently, when txtorcon launches a new Tor subprocess, it expects it to
 bootstrap successfully (e.g. waits for it to get to 100% bootstrapped or
 errors out). I'm currently trying to add a feature to support single-hop
 /non-anonymous onions -- I could certainly special-case (further) this
 behavior and *not* wait for the bootstrap, but it mostly makes sense to me
 to have some way to say "please bootstrap".

 I guess looking at it the other way, why *wouldn't* I want to bootstrap
 right away?

 One reason txtorcon looks for bootstrapping to complete is for error-cases
 (e.g. if bootstrapping errors out or pauses for too long).
