Comment (by cypherpunks):

 note: different cypherpunks nym user here than the previous comments.

 is this change planned soon? (or ever?)

 ironically, since any deviation from the defaults makes one's traffic
 unique, choosing to manually select the onion service from the search
 preferences could be argued to reduce one's anonymity

 conversely making the default a dot onion provides a great example of a
 lawful, useful onion service
