Is conflux intentionally enabled by default
In the announcement for release 0.4.8.1-alpha this is mentioned:
At the moment, very few Exit node supports Conflux and so enabling this feature might not be beneficial for you. Once a critical mass of relays upgrade to the 0.4.8.x series, we’ll flip a switch in the consensus for all clients to start using it.
In the meantime, if you know what you are doing and want to help iron out bugs, you can enable this feature by setting ConfluxEnabled 1 in your torrc file.
But I get the impression that conflux is enabled even without setting ConfluxEnabled. I see circuits with porpuse Conflux_linked in Nyx, and having a quick look at the code, I believe conflux is enabled unless the consensus parameter cfx_enabled is 0. This doesn't appear to be the case. Could it be that this is wrongly enabled by default?
