--------------------------+------------------------------------------------
It is at least mildly naughty how Tor currently uses the same
DataDirectory for both persistent secret things (keys), persistent
sensitive things (the state file), runtime stuff (the lock file), and
cached objects (cached-*). Perhaps we should provide options to split
these up?
This might help a bit with memory usage on platforms where /var is a
tmpfs. In #7176, there was an openwrt patch that changed the key
directory to a hardcoded path, but that's obviously not mergeable in
mainline tor.
