 Welcome to the sixteenth issue of Tor Weekly News in 2014, the weekly
 newsletter that covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
 
+Cutting out Tor v0.2.2.x relays
+--------------------------------
+
+As a side note in the current heartbleed discussions Roger Dingledine
+mentioned [1] that besides rejecting heartbleed affected relays,
+also Tor relays running ancient Tor v0.2.2.x have been removed from
+the consensus (#11149) [2]. 
+
+Eventually also relays running version prior v0.2.3.16-alpha might be 
+removed from the consenus: "I think 0.2.3.16-alpha's fix of #6033 makes that 
+one a plausible 'not below this one' cutoff." Roger writes in the respective
+trac entry [3].
+
+Relay operators should always make sure to run a recommended Tor version. [4]
+The torproject's weather service [5] can be used by relay operators to get 
+email notifications if an outdated tor version is detected.
