commit 73a0bb16b9b750be9a51470ff57ee654787836d9
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>

    Partially revert "Clarify who learns about ContactInfo."
    
    This reverts the torrc.sample.in changes from commit
    66a04a6ac334775dc396025e0c15fa49eca138a7.
    
    We're going to not make this change in 0.2.4, since changing
    torrc.sample.in makes all the debian users do some pointless
    busywork. see tor-dev discusion of 9 Oct 2013.
