Also - does this mean that after many many years... that this new version of tor-fw-helper be enabled by default at build time? Pretty please? :-)
Unlikely, AFAIK the general plan was to have it as a separate package.
That is really a major bummer if so - we should be shipping this code and enabling it by default. If a user wants to run a relay, they should only have to express that intent with a single button.
All the best, Jake
