Agreed. > While looking at the devel branch for patches I'd like to cherry-pick > into 0.8.1, it seems to me almost all changes in there could be worth > it. It seems to me more are, and only a few (namely: the move to > CookieSafe) seem to belong to 0.9 instead.

I think it might be worth considering releasing feature/tordate in 0.8.1 -- we've had so much time related trouble being reported in 0.8 that I'd consider it as a bugfix. I've tested the current state (7d869d2) quite thoroughly, and it has worked very well, so I don't think it'd be impossible to do this. Cheers!
