We discussed requiring a separate build for Single Onion Services, and

Why did you reject separate builds? The use case for Single-Onion
Services is very different from traditional Double-Onion Services. And
potential consequences for accidentally using Single-Onion Services are
huge. Accidents happen. Stupidity happens. Perhaps someone is learning
and testing, and then goes to production with the wrong torrc. Or they
hire someone to code, and there is miscommunication. I agree with Fabio.
Requiring a custom build with a --very-hard-to-ignore-warning flag is
far stronger protection.

We initially decided it wasn't necessary.
But now it seems like a good way to address Nick's concerns.
I'll talk to him about it when I see him over the next few days.
