 decide whether it's what TBB and debian and TAILS and everybody else want.
 Please discuss among yourselves and reach consensus?

 I was wondering about the status of this enhancement. We at
 [https://freedom.press Freedom of the Press Foundation] are using Tails
 and authenticated hidden services in
 [https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/ SecureDrop] and would like
 the HidServAuth values to be persistent. We originally made the
 [https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2014-February/004909.html
 feature request] with Tails, but per a more recent casual IRC conversation
 I had with some Tails devs, they are not planning on implementing it
 unless they get the torrc.d-style configuration directories discussed in
 this ticket. So we've had to create workarounds for now, and it seems the
 feature we'd like to see in Tails is dependent on these upstream changes
 to Tor. In conclusion, I hope that you might consider us as a strong voice
 and use case in favor of this enhancement, and I look forward to hearing
 when you think it might be merged if at all.
