[tor-onions] Renaming Rendezvous Single Onion Services

[Kate Krauss]

Hi!

Can you explain what this is, and its purpose, in language suitable for
a general reader? That will help me think about the name. I looked up
the ticket number but still don't completely understand (and wasn't at
sessions about this in Valencia, unfortunately). I *think* I know--but
further explanation would be really helpful here :)

Thanks,

Katie
