Hello Tor-Dev!
As part of some discussions that happened at the Seattle Tor Meeting few weeks ago, we've talked about the number of introduction points in an hidden service descriptor for proposal 224 (next generation HS).
I've attached a spec change with the values ranging:
Minimum: 0 - Default: 3 - Maximum: 20
The changes from what we have right now is basically the maximum. We would like to go from 10 to 20. It's arbitrary for now but one of the main reasons is to allow tools like OnionBalance to be able to scale more as we heard from large HS operators that they would like to go above 60 (10 * 6 HSDirs).
Let us know what you think!
Cheers! David

Yes please! This makes a huge difference to hidden service scaling.
It's the easiest change we can make, at least until we merge rendezvous handoff. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17254
