 Replying to [comment:28 Sebastian]:
 > We could also put the contents of the tbb versions file into a comment
 of the check website. That would mean even if the version check page gets
 blocked by fingerprinting it for example, that torbutton can still use
 that information to maybe reload the check page with the update warning or
 do otherwise

 No offense, but I refuse to over-engineer this. Any real solutions will
 have to use thandy. Consider this solution a tourniquet + ice bath to stop
 the bleeding of an severed limb and preserve it until the hospital can
 actually save the patient.
