Totally agree, especially it's absolutely reasonable that we will see a growing number of Applications that include Tor as part of their code and use Tor Hidden Services a unique way to communicate. It would be very useful to have an official statement by Tor Project on the current scalability / performance impact of Tor Hidden Service with a Guideline to let Application Developer (bundling Tor, using TorHS) avoid breaking/hurting the Tor Network. That way the limits are clear and the way to be "Polite with the Network considering it's current limitations" would be explicit.
