I've known people at Cloudflare talking about doing something like this for
2+ years, and the goal has been to do something nice for Tor and to make it
easier for normal people to adopt Onion networking.

I think that it'd be a great idea for more companies to adopt Onion
networking, as outlined in my video at:

That goal is not helped by people jumping into the conversation with
implausible scenarios that are not even grounded in reasonable common
sense.

And: if there are arbitrary limits which could be practically exploited to
"Br1ng Tor D0wn!!!1!ONE" then I am pretty sure that they will be exploited
by the state security apparatuses of the world, well-before actual
legitimate usage will reach them.
