Comment:
While working on #34023 (for deciding whether we can use partial
completion times instead of full completion times) I realized that I could
use the same analysis data and code to compare version 2 to version 3
measurement results for this ticket.
And while doing that analysis I realized that we're currently doing 1/3 of
all OnionPerf measurements to version 3 onion servers---which we're not
even graphing on Tor Metrics. But even if we did graph them, we'd be
making 2/3 of measurements to onion services and only 1/3 via exits.
Can we take out v2 onion service support and only do v3 onion service
measurements in the future? Please take a look at the following graph. It
shows time to download 50 KiB, 1 MiB, and 5 MiB over Tor to its own web
server (public server) or to its own v2 or v3 onion server.

I didn't follow all the v3 onion server changes in detail. Is there any
conceptual difference that might show up in these performance graphs? If
it's mainly different crypto, shared randomness, and a differently
distributed directory, we could expect the same performance results for
downloading files using either version.
What do you think? Should we just kill the version 2 measurements? And
should we include all onion server measurements on Tor Metrics, regardless
of version?
Copying onion service people to also get their input here.
