How is that even possible? Would the Tor project hard-code an onion-site it won't resolve?

Anything is possible at this point. Even the administrator of Kiwi Farms is expecting APNIC to revoke their /24, because the Twitter mob has been very vocal of who their next harassment targets are.

Has there even been a precedent of a domain being revoked for such a thing?

Let's hope it stays this way.

Its not that far fetched to imagine a campaign against verisign to remove a .com domain.

Yes, and they actually already discussed such a possibility back when the Daily Stormer first moved to Tor[0].

They ultimately shot down the idea, and just put out a statement condemning them instead[1][2].

I think it's unlikely they would implement such a thing for KiwiFarms now that they've already set the precedent with a site that is arguably much worse.
