 Replying to [comment:1 mikeperry]:

 > I'm also wondering if it wouldn't be simpler just to throw our hands up
 on 0.2.3.x and write a patch to disable TAP entirely via a consensus
 parameter. I am not sure how much longer the Tor network will remain
 functional under this load.

 That would (a) make Debian unhappy, and (b) completely break the hidden
 service protocol.
