Comment (by arma):
A related but different idea: djb pointed out that we could use a few bits
in the onion name itself to indicate how many replicas this onion service
is using in the hsdir ring.
That way it could be set on a per-service basis, rather than a global
basis, so popular services could scale themselves better.
(Problem 1: you need to predict your popularity at the beginning, when you
choose your name. Problem 2: I am suspicious of any design where there is
more than one "name" for the same service, since it introduces
partitioning questions, caching concerns, etc.)
