 > Why not make it at least torrc-enabled?
 It is torrc-enabled as stated by the [https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-
 manual.html.en#TransPort manual] and it is disabled by default.

Comment (by yurivict271):

 Isn't this a security problem to have something rarely used, like
 TransPort, always on by default?

 Why not make it at least torrc-enabled?

 This looks okay with me .. just need a changes file. I'll add one when I
 merge, unless somebody else writes one first.

Comment (by arma):

 I began to start on a patch for this one, and it quickly became clear that
 whoever writes this patch needs to understand basic auto* voodoo -- it
 isn't just a matter of removing a few lines.

 +1 to removing the --disable-transparent option.

 Roger, you might also like this temporary spreadsheet, where we started
 trying to think about what other options we might like to rip out:

 Right now --enable-transparent is the default in ./configure.

 I don't know of anyplace that disables it.

 And that means that if there's any place that fails to build with it
 enabled, we would have heard about it, right?

 So, the only possible remaining reason to disable it is if we don't want
 that extra code in Tor, for security reasons? Are there libraries that we
 choose not to link if it's disabled? Or is it just a couple of lines of
 code that we run or don't run?

 (I noticed this option again while noticing that FreeBSD's Tor port (
 
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/7734/FreeBSD_Tor_port_config.png
 ) gives the user the option of choosing --disable-transparent, along with
 other things like --enable-bufferevents and --enable-instrument-downloads
 that are distractions at best and downright dangerous sometimes.)
