(unfortunately we never saw the slides if anyone did, please share)

They use alt-svc but Tor Browser does not support that currently.

I assume opportunistic onions only work for anything that is already on tor.

If I understood Nick correctly they also use single onion services, so that means that
their traffic portion is not increasing, just shifting away from exits 
to non-exits (good).
