Comment (by blockflare):

 My modest suggestion: If such a redirect proposal is implemented, instead
 of scaring the user with such unexpected behavior, make it optional, and
 ask the user with a dialog when he first installs the Tor Browser to
 choose whether he wants to be automatically redirected to some onion
 services or not (additionally with some non-technical information on what
 they are and their security benefits).
