Comment (by cypherpunks):

 @lux Your ticket was closed by the user {{{cypherpunks}}} who is an open
 multi-user, it isn't used by Tor Project employees.

 If you want this to be seen by Tor Project employees then I may reopen it
 but I'm reluctant to since **that the hosts file should be bypassed is
 expected behavior**. Otherwise it becomes easy to censor sites for the Tor
 Browser, and since some users use hosts file to block ads (Peter's hosts
 file for example) then they will become easier for fingerprint. Without
 even mentioning what proxy bypasses and whatnot may result from such a
 move.
