 manual:

 going to put it out of order anyway, maybe we should put it with
 ConnectionPadding.
 > I agree, except with moving CircuitPadding.  As a slightly more "top-
 level" option, leaving it in alphabetic order might be better.  Maybe we
 should make a new ticket for moving the timeout options in a new
 subsection?

 This is now #32928.

 another ticket, possibly by creating a new subsection:

 ExcludeNodes

 sense together

 > > If we create a section for the *Nodes options, we could mark them as
 advanced options. They're all options that might compromise anonymity, by
 changing how tor behaves.
 > I agree; let's make a new ticket for these.

 This is now #32929.
