Comment (by karsten):

 Ah, looks like we removed that field from Onionoo five years ago, long
 before we even assigned a protocol version number:

 {{{
 <li><b><font color="red">"desc_published":</font></b> UTC timestamp
 (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss) when the relay last published a descriptor.
 Deprecated field.
 Deprecated, because this information is only useful to calculate the last
 restart time of the relay, together with <i>"uptime"</i>.
 We can as well provide that time directly in <i>"last_restarted"</i>.
 Announced on January 26, will be removed after February 26, 2012.</li>
 <li><b><font color="red">"uptime"</font></b> Uptime of the relay when
 publishing its last descriptor.
 Deprecated field.
 Deprecated, because this information is only useful to calculate the last
 restart time of the relay, together with <i>"desc_published"</i>.
 Even worse, it may be mistaken for the current uptime of the relay at the
 time of publishing this detail document.
 Announced on January 26, will be removed after February 26, 2012.</li>
 }}}

 I'd say just remove this field from Atlas as well.
