[tor-relays] Re: Please update standalone snowflake proxy to v2.13.1



Don't "by default" and "please add flag" contradict each other?
If it makes sense to enable it by default, then perhaps there’s no need
for an extra flag.

I also get the snowflake binary from deb.torproject.org. If it isn't
updated there, my binary will unfortunately remain outdated :-( Not
everyone wants to use Docker.
