Its a scaling question. Please don't sidetrack into distaste, its the
question of preventing progress by saying "too many" when in fact, its
tractable, and its software.

.onion is an eminently tractable problem. Arguing otherwise is to argue the
current .onion codebase dependency cannot move, therefore any future CVE
against TOR cannot be fixed, therefore further code development on TOR is
fruitless, therefore lets all stop coding. Breathing even.

This IETF mantra of "too many to change" is wrong. We need to stop invoking
the dead weight of the past over future events.
