    - Drop the MIN_REND_INITIAL_POST_DELAY on a testing network to 5
      seconds, but keep the default at 30 seconds. This reduces HS

  o Minor features (tor2web mode):
-    - Introduce the config option Tor2webRendezvousPoints, which
-      allows clients in Tor2webMode to select a specific Rendezvous
-      Point to be used in HS circuits. This might allow better
-      performance for Tor2Web nodes. Implements ticket #12844.
