Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:28 mcs]:
 > Now that the fix for #20956 has landed, we can proceed with Tor Launcher
 changes that take advantage of it. Here are two patches for review (the
 tor-browser-bundle patch removes the SocksPort and ControlPort lines from
 torrc-defaults to avoid conflcts with what Tor Launcher does):

 These patches look good to me.

 > There is still one open issue: some current alpha users have SocksPort
 and ControlPort lines in their torrc that are there because tor wrote them
 (due to a SAVECONF). After an upgrade, lines will likely cause conflicts
 with the ports that the new Tor Launcher will add. Do we need to clean
 these up for people or is it acceptable to cause pain for alpha users?
 (manual edit of torrc required)

 This problem would also be avoided with a fix for #20906. :)
