Comment (by arma):
For a while, a nice person was running an onion service that pointed to
irc.oftc.net. I think it's still up and in use. And we shouldn't want that
person to hard-code just one of oftc's irc servers, right? Or even do some
sort of dump of the current irc servers and hard-code that? This situation
is what DNS is for.
(All of this said, our process for resolving onion service destinations is
not great. There's #393 for one. And we have other klunky aspects to doing
resolves while Tor is operating, like #10566 and #2106. I could see an
argument for disabling the resolve for some of these, to simplify, but I
don't think we can just rip out resolves in everything, or we'll hurt
usability too much (like httpsproxy). And that makes ripping it out in
some cases but still having to solve the other cases seem like a shame.)
