Comment:

 Adding in the ux team so they can get involved.

 I think any sort of metaphorical visualization of "the other side of the
 onion circuit" would do fine here. Maybe that means we leave it at three
 visualized hops, because we've taught users that Tor circuits are
 generally three hops. Or maybe we make it cloudier. But I don't want to
 teach users to go check if the onion site they're using is three-hops or
 one-hop: onion services should be onion services and that's that. (This is
 as much a political move as anything else -- there are too many people out
 there saying that all onion services should be one-hop, and we should rip
 out the three-hop version, and drawing users into that fight, with this
 interface question, isn't going to make anybody any happier.)
