 Replying to [comment:8 traumschule]:
 > After my monologue in #27351 i propose it to log "DisableNetwork is set.
 Network settings are opened or  bootstrapping failed. Do we have
 connectivity? Tor will not make or accept non-control network connections.
 Shutting down all existing connections."
 I think this wording is too specific to Tor Browser and is not something
 that the tor daemon should use to log this event.
