I think that Tor should implement natively support for self-chrooting and that those kind of approach are dirty, unmaintainable, hacks.

Most security software does support chrooting natively, simply by opening the relevant filesystem filedescriptor before chrooting, and then operating over it from inside the chroot.

Have you reviewed the patch attached to: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3794 The above may not be about "native" chroot, but this looks like it is at least partly: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7005 Perhaps open another enhancement ticket to tie it all together.

Problem: does "chroot" mean anything in a Windows environment?
