Comment (by asn):

 FWIW, after multiple sessions during the montreal dev meeting, and also
 based on phw's survey, it seems that users are very open to the auto-
 redirect idea if it's done properly.

 People liked Tor Browser using the `Alt-Svc` header to learn about onion
 addresses for websites and the browser redirecting users. People also
 suggested that Tor Browser inserts a "pop-up"-ish thing (maybe like an
 informative strip below the address bar) informing that auto-redirect is
 taking place as a form of user education.

 Not sure how to best move forward here, but I'm mentioning my takeaways
 from the tor meeting.
