Comment(by mikeperry):

 Hrm. A separate DNS name makes me more concerned about blocking.. Upon
 further consideration, I'm also concerned about SOCKS u+p isolation in the
 future (#5752), because it will allow just one exit to freeze you for much
 longer than 1.5hrs.

 Perhaps TBB should use the hidden service after all, too.. Is it stable?
 Is that too much extra circuit creation for Tor?

 Do we have hitcount stats on just RecommendedTBBVersions to help inform
 us? In #6156, phobos pasted a munin link, but it looks to be for all of
 check.
