However, I grant that there may be other technical issues with automation that could surprise us. It is risky to promise that it will work well. Do you know of any other bootstrap issues or control port weirdness that may cause problems with automating? Do you expect there to be lots of surprises?
I worry that on very slow connections, reducing timeouts will cut off users who would have previously had a working configuration.
Hmm, interesting.
There are strategies to get users to wait! We could show them an informational video, give them a tour of the security features, or something like that (all of which are nice-to-have things I would have worked on way later).
This isn't what I meant:
If we tell tor to wait for less time for a connection to complete, tor will break for all users who required the higher timeout.
This is a separate issue from convincing the *user* to wait.
