Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I use TorBrowser with a system-wide Tor instance, and I pipe that through
 Privoxy (and Squid with options httpd_suppress_version_string on & via
 off).
 It would annoy me if I could not do that anymore (ads make me cringe), so
 personally I am glad those settings are in Torbutton.
