Comment (by subscriptionblocker):

 Perhaps it's time to lighten up a little? Absent a really serious bug,
 just why is anyone talking about flagging relays for a modestly obsolete
 version? As often as these versions change, I would think that "3ea
 version obsolete" would be a reasonable flagging standard.

 What Tor using now is not. And I'd be very surprised if such hijinks
 aren't the reason many relay operators give up and walk away.

 Is there a "Rain Man" quality to some of these rules? A dedication to self
 destruction in pursuit of some unattainable ideal?

 Tor's relay count is dropping. How does Tor manage that within an
 environment of constant news warnings concerning the perils of centralized
 internet?
