The Tor project doesn't exist for whatever usecase you were using it for.

Not routing to v2 domains isn't the same as not owning your .onion addresses? The latter is cryptographically guaranteed, is it not?

They've made it very clear they don't care now. But I still remember when it was part of what they advertised about tor. A lot has changed since 2010 in the tor project.
You still haven't made any clear case against them. Why even stick with v2 onions in the first place?
probably something something Debian. I don't even get it, there's no reason not to just adopt v3. There was one reason, for a short while, that certain hosts might have wanted to stick with v2, but that hasn't been the case for 2+ years now. There are v3 vanity generators, v2 urls are still too long to memorize anyway. Sorry, but this just feels like another user being stubborn about change, ignoring that that change happened for a reason. See also: Wayland.
