Comment (by gk):

 Yes, I had done the same analysis in #18672 and see #16324, too. So, I am
 fine with dropping this patch given that we did not fix the other ones or
 marked them as WONTFIX. *But*, in general it seems to me we want to fix
 this class of FPI issues as, as you said, it's not clear the status quo
 stays as it is. Moreover, FPI should be working for users without a proxy
 as well. So, having (some) speculative connects not adhering to it is a
 bug. Getting this right would as well mean we would get rig of the false
 positives in the Torbutton log which turned out to be quite time-consuming
 over the time to investigate.
