Are there any plans to revamp the algorithm for newer Tor versions?

I don't think so. All the focus right now is on getting Arti into a state where it can replace all of Tor's current usage. Arti has just gotten an RPC layer that we hope to get feedback on from integrators.

C Tor is in a development mode right now where we mostly fix things that are needed for the Tor Network (relays, and tooling around relays), and features/removal of features that makes it easier to implement our protocols for Arti.

As the ControlPort is generally only used on local machines, I doubt this is something that we will want to fix.
