As a result of the low percentage +of gossiped addresses being onion nodes, it was often the case where, unless you specify `onlynet=onion`, a node +would rarely if ever establish any outbound onion connections. This change ensures that nodes which can access the +onion network maintain a few onion connections. As a result, network messages could continue to propagate across +the network even if non-onion IPv4 traffic is blocked, reducing the risk of partitioning. Additionally, this update improves +security by enabling p2p encryption for these peers. (#6147) \ No newline at end of file
