Comment (by naif):

 @ilv We can live with that but i do think it's not a good idea to keep it
 that way, given that a developer is looking at this file to get a simple
 answer to the question "Which is the latest version of Tor Browser?" .

 Answering that way is misleading, adding parsing logic complexity to any
 third party implementation willing to take action based on the answer of
 that file.

 I feel that an over-simplified version would be suitable, probably
 enriched with the URL where to download the version of the file that's
 reported in that file, so any third party developer will only get 1 answer
 and can immediately do a request to fetch it.
