 I'm wondering if it will make sense to use Onion-Location in V2 onion

 AFAIK right now tor-browser ignores the Onion-Location header if is
 already
 coming from an onion service. Will it make sense to stop ignoring it at
 least
 for V2 onion services?

Or the site could just issue a Location header and/or explicit redirect to the v3 service? After all, if the v2 site is compromised to the point where that's a problem, then there are larger issues / "game over", etc.

True, I agree I don't see much value added to do the Onion-Location instead of just doing a redirect. I guess this is a better way of upgrading users.
