Comment (by arma):

 So would that mean that by default, Tor never remembers its dormant state
 across restarts? (Or more precisely, never reacts to dormancy info in the
 state file on startup.)

 That would seem to not cover the "some linux distro includes a Tor client
 package by default" use case, right? It's more oriented towards specific
 Tor installs that know they want to be special?
