Replying to [comment:28 mcs]:
> 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)

> It seems like we may want to try to clean them up, but to do that we
need to add code to Tor Launcher that runs once and tries to delete the
offending lines from torrc.
Hmm. What about stable users once they get the fix in this bug? Aren't
they potentially affected as well?
