In onionland, there seems to be little knowledge of v3, thus little worry about v2 in cases where v3 would actually apply to benefit, that's bad.
v3 onion services just seem like a way worse deal to the average user and the unknowledgeable admin. Mainly because the addresses are way too long. I can remember a couple of v2 addresses, but not a single v3 address. So that's just bad advertising from the start.
Before at least Facebook, DuckDuckGo, The New York Times, the Debian Project and even the Tor Project themselves (!) have rolled out their v3 onion services, one shouldn't even think about deprecating HSv2. It's going to be around for many years to come, taking for them just as long to vanish as an SSL version, I think, unfortunately. -- OpenPGP Key: 47BC7DE83D462E8BED18AA861224DBD299A4F5F3 https://www.parckwart.de/pgp_key
