Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:10 teor]:
 > I opened #29703 to backport some test-network.sh fixes from 0.3.0 to
 0.2.9 so that we can reliably call chutney's test-network.sh from tor's
 test-network.sh.

 Hmm, there's another option if you don't want to backport:
 1. put test-network-forgiving.sh in 0.2.9, and call it from the 0.2.9
 Makefile
 2. delete test-network-forgiving.sh in 0.3.4 and later
 3. implement a test-network-forgiving mode in chutney's test-network.sh,
 and call it from 0.3.4 and later Makefiles

 This seems like the worst of both worlds: we'll be making changes in 0.2.9
 and chutney if there are any bugs. Historically, we're not good at keeping
 tor and chutney in sync.

 > It's also worth being aware of #29060: I think one of its commits may
 break tor's chutney CI on master.

 I've asked for a revert on that ticket.
