The bug tracker might or should be better for requests. I don't think
that applies to this. The bugtracker is for the hardworking people
behind the Tor Project. Thanks to them unimaginable things can be done
in this mess offered by the nearsighted (lazy?) geeks of the '70s and
'80s. Or maybe it's the society at large silly enough to grow dependent
on poisoned tools. But that's another discussion alltogether. My request
goes to the community at large. The users. The security experts that
don't have the time to work on the Project, but could shed some light
onto this issue. I'd love the Tor people to examine the offered
documentation.

Thanks for the links. I'll go though them this weekend.
