 > Hrmm.. It depends on what the tails people want. If they are shipping
 TorBrowser + some tails mods, they can just use the detection as-is. But
 maybe they want the ability to tell users their software is too old
 independent of Tor Browser's version.

 Turns out the Tails people are a step ahead of us here:

 system w.r.t. versions -- if you run an out-dated version of Tails a pop-
 up will list the vulnerabilities of that version and recommend upgrading
