Comment (by teor):

 I tried rebuilding the file, but the diff was a mess:
 https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/837/commits/973451edd1a8f0fe7c07ae5ba7fe8256ef279f95

 I think practracker is using OS file order (or maybe an order based on
 python minor versions?), but we really want a stable file and function
 order. See #29882.

 I also wonder if we should replace the practracker list with every new
 release, so that we don't keep old exceptions. See #29883.

 So I guess that I'm meant to manually edit the file by finding any
 modified exceptions and updating them? There has to be an easier way.
 (Maybe #29880?) And if there isn't, it should be documented in the warning
 message, and at the start of the script. See #29884.
