Should the v3 rend spec be the new 'rend-spec'?
On spec.torproject.org there is a link for /rend-spec-v2, /rend-spec-v3, and /rend-spec. Currently, rend-spec
redirects to the same page as rend-spec-v2
, but with v2
deprecation coming sometime this year pointing rend-spec
at rend-spec-v3
may be more beneficial.
One example of a reason we may want to change this mapping is because RFC 7686 references /rend-spec
. We want new adoption of onion services to reference the correct protocol, such as certificate authorities issuing TLS certificates with .onion addresses. I heard adjusting the mapping may help with this adoption in the future (or prevent some confusion, at least).
