I agree that this would be "the technical way" to do it, but real world usability kind of prevents us to do it this way. The spec for ADD_ONION indeed does not say that v2 hidden services will be supported forever and it clearly SHOULD NOT, but it also doesn't make much sense to abolish it at the first Tor release supporting v3 services (because if we make ADD_ONION == v3 (best) this is what we are doing).
Even I don't think `BEST` should be changed to Ed25519 immediately, especially when the code is being stabilized.
So I think we should have an option: OnionServiceCreateV3 0|1 Create V3 onion services by default when using HiddenServiceDir and ADD_ONION BEST. Which defaults to 0 for at least the first release containing the new code, and then defaults to 1 for at least one release, and then is deprecated.
