 Replying to [comment:12 irl]:

 "NoRecVer"? It's a little cryptic but the tooltip is still there to
 explain and it's then a similar length to the others. I don't think this
 is any worse than V2Dir or HSDir.

 Please do not make this more cryptic.

 Moving the sign to the platform string and changing it from "not
 recommended"
 to
 "runs not recommended version"

 should be fine.
