To be more precise, most tools accept files ending in ".conf". We might want tor to accept ".conf" for consistency. I suggest we also accept files called "torrc", or ending in ".torrc". This should probably also include files called literally ".torrc". Since this is a breaking change, we might want to check if any distribution has adopted another naming scheme, and avoid breaking that naming scheme. >>> Or maybe even only parse number_filename.torrc for better >>> consistency and for more clear priority order? >> >> No, this is counter-intuitive.

Or is it preferred to leave it to developers from TPO? We accept patches from anyone. If you'd like your patch to be reviewed quickly: * put the ticket in 0.3.3, because it's a bugfix * change the status to "needs review" once you have a patch Thanks!
