Greetings everyone!

The network team has come up with a policy about C-tor patches in order to help and facilitate our transition to arti.

The TL;DR is essentially that we will be reducing considerably the amount of patches (fixes and features) we take in for C-tor[0], most importantly on the client side, in order to alleviate the maintaining work of C-tor in favor of arti development.

Please, read the following explaining why and what is changing regarding C-tor patches and development work:

Don't hesitate to ask questions!

Cheers! The Network Team
