OK, but let's say that someone got facebookcorewwwi.onion, running
scallion on some mega-GPU monster. It's hugely improbable, I know. And
they'd have a different private key, of course. But how would Tor handle
that? Would it work like running multiple onion copies does now? That
is, would they compete for HSDir priority?
