Comment (by alecmuffett):

 Trying to wrap this essay up into a sentence:

 > Putting {{{Tor/1}}} or similar into the User-Agent will enable site
 owners to get clients to the proper onion, to the onion they want to serve
 the user through, via the means they are best equipped to serve the client
 - direct connection, alt-svc - with a minimum of cost, technical debt,
 state-maintenance or fuss.
