 Example:
 https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?search=MYCROFTsOtherChild&fields=platform,recommended_version
 {{{
 {"version":"4.0",
 "relays_published":"2017-06-04 18:00:00",
 "relays":[
 {"platform":"Tor 0.3.0.7 on FreeBSD","recommended_version":false}
 ],
 "bridges_published":"2017-06-04 16:57:33",
 "bridges":[
 ]}
 }}}

 but this version is recommended:
 {{{
 server-versions 0.2.4.27, 0.2.4.28, 0.2.5.12, 0.2.5.13, 0.2.6.11, 0.2.7.6,
 0.2.7.7, 0.2.8.9, 0.2.8.10, 0.2.8.11, 0.2.8.12, 0.2.8.13, 0.2.9.9,
 0.2.9.10, 0.3.0.7, 0.3.1.2-alpha }}}

 How often is the version checked against the recommended_version list?

 This should happen with every consensus, we should not have false
 positives here since this will confuse tor relay operators.

 '''Note:''' We prominently tell (red flag on atlas) everyone that they run
 an outdated version if recommended_version is false.
