+ Dependencies and versions
+---------------------------
In general, we use modules from only the Rust standard library
whenever possible. We will review including external crates on a
case-by-case basis.
+Currently, Tor requires that you use the latest stable Rust version. At
+some point in the future, we will freeze on a given stable Rust version,
+to ensure backward compatibility with stable distributions that ship it.
