Comment:

 I don't think this change is urgent, so I'm triaging it into Tor 0.4.4.

 It's also worth noting that:
 * tor exits need working DNS
 * tor non-exit relays and bridges only use DNS to discover their own
 address, and:
   * they are configured with a DNS name in the `Address` torrc option
 (failure is an error), or
   * their local hostname resolves via DNS (failure falls back to local
 interface APIs or directory X-Your-Address-Is headers)
 * tor clients don't depend on DNS for anything
