Netflow padding was implemented by Mike Perry and merged for Tor 0.3.1.x,
however by default it is only enabled with relays that have version bigger
or equal to 0.3.1.x.

As a result, since Tor version distribution for guard nodes is
significantly different it means that some Tor Browser users will have
different network fingerprint.
Of course even if they have it's not really _that_ harmful but enabling it
by default _may_ not prove harmful either.
