 Right, Tor doesn't close existing exit connections when you change your
 exit policy. In fact, it doesn't even close existing OR connections if you
 turn your ORPort to 0 (turning into just a client). The configuration
 options are about what you'll allow from now on, not about going through
 and closing all the existing conns that are not compatible ("could not
 have been created") with your new config.
