#8169: replace TCP timestamp

 Priority:  normal  |      Milestone:     
Component:  Tor     |        Version:

 The JonDonym documentation [https://anonymous-proxy-
 servers.net/en/help/wwwprivacy_technik.html states], "[...] TCP timestamps
 can be used for tracking [...]" and "The JonDonym mixes automatically
 replace your potentially insecure TCP packets by their own.".

 Tor should probable do the same or state somewhere why they believe why
 it's not necessary.

 Sorry, if this is a duplicate or elsewhere documented. Search term
 site:torproject.org TCP timestamp or similar didn't bring results.
