 Currently, there is no facility provided by tor that tells us when our Tor
 hidden service is accessible after it has been created. I would like this
 information regardless if the Tor hidden service was created via a torrc
 or control port... or if easier to implement this could be a specific
 feature addition to ephemeral hidden services described in Tor trac ticket
 #6411 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6411

 I am working on various Tor hidden service applications that could
 definitely use this feature... most notably txtorcon tor hidden service
 endpoints can fire their Twisted listen deferreds when the hidden service
 is available. In this case we'd want an asynchronous event with that
 message.

 In the context of the Tahoe-LAFS native Tor integration (https://tahoe-
 lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/517 AND
 http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/203) we can imagine a situation
 where a storage service creates a txtorcon tor hidden service endpoint and
 calls it's listen() method. It would be optimal for this storage server to
 not announce it's onion address until it was actually accessible... that
 is until after the HS descriptor has been disseminated sufficiently to
 guarantee transport.
