Comment (by atagar):

 Hi Nick. Stem had a release just a few weeks ago and
 [https://stem.torproject.org/change_log.html generally accumulates enough
 changes] to warrant another release annually.

 I cautioned above that this will make folks sad. I see three options
 here...

 1. Revert or punt this tor commit for a year. Stem aside, personally I
 don't understand why this change is desirable. That said, once we have
 DROPOWNERSHIP and Stem 1.8 is out I won't care what modifications you make
 to the bootstrap messages.

 2. Release a Stem 1.7.1 hotfix release. This creates work for our
 packaging community and I avoid it unless there's a critical bug, but if
 this logging change is really important to you we can go this route.

 3. Continue as-is and break callers of launch_tor(). This is the route the
 network team seemed to prefer on this ticket.
