Hello,

I do not think setting this to 1 changes anything at the moment.
According to man page this is used to override the directory authorities'
"suggestion" on whether or not to use NTor. In the current situation when they
already say "yes please do", setting 1 does not change anything, NTor would
have been enabled anyway, no matter if it's "1" or "auto".
In either case, this does not disable handling of TAP, nor make the router
invisible in the node list for older clients.
