 I think it would be best to completely obsolete all the old crypto within
 TOR, but if it is possible to only use it to resolve old .onion addresses
 and NOT to build new circuits EVER.

 This would essentially be a firewall inside Tor to start only building
 circuits by default using the New Encryption introduced in Tor 0.3.2.9

 There has been enough time elapsed for operators to upgrade and this is a
 serious bug if TOR is building obsolete circuits with obsolete TOR nodes.
 Thus the Default and Only setting should be to only build circuits using
 the Newer Encryption standard now that enough relays are already using the
 newer nodes.
