 I fixed that in branch `bug_28685_v4`:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_28685_v4&id=d11f03f7c10c2cf5a942a353d0961249ceee9644

 this correctly. That's okay for me.

 We currently subtract 5, so Tor Browser 17 would be month 12. But we can
 increase the value we subtract when changing year, to allow more versions.
