Comment (by arma):

 I'm inclined to leave it out -- Debian et al ship Tor 0.2.4.x now, and the
 question to ask for backports in this case is "does it merit a security
 advisory, or is it a major correctness fix?"

 Also given that Tor 0.2.5.x will be going stable in not too long, and that
 it's a pretty short patch, hopefully the Shadow users can handle applying
 it?

 That said, we (or you) could make a tarball with the patch applied, for
 users who like tarballs but can't run patch. Or we could make a Tor
 branch, for those who like those?
