Comment(by andrea):

 The code looks fine to me, but should this be stronger than a log warning
 perhaps?  If the user does this with a hidden service that anyone might
 care to try to locate, then by the time the user sees this message it's
 likely been exposed to the world like that at least briefly.

 Maybe we should disable the hidden service instead unless the user
 explicitly says "yeah, I asked for it, give it to me good and hard"
 somewhere?
