--------------------+------------------------------
 If `GETINFO` commands `status/version/num-concurring` and `status/version
 /num-versioning` are used in Nyx or `tor-prompt`, Tor writes to its log
 file:

 {{{
 [warn] status/version/num-concurring is deprecated; it no longer gives
 useful information
 [warn] status/version/num-versioning is deprecated; it no longer gives
 useful information
 }}}

 These commands should be removed from interpreter's `/help GETINFO`
 listing. They are deprecated according to
 [[https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/control-spec.txt|control-
 spec.txt]]:

 {{{
 "status/version/num-concurring"
 "status/version/num-versioning"
   These options are deprecated; they no longer give useful information.
 }}}

 [[https://blog.torproject.org/tor-02030-released-stable|since 0.2.0.30]]
 (more than 10 years):

 > o Newly deprecated features:
 > - The `status/version/num-versioning` and `status/version/num-
 concurring` `GETINFO` controller options are no longer useful in the v3
 directory protocol: treat them as deprecated, and warn when they're used.

 Probably, there are also other deprecated commands in `/help` listing.
 They should be removed too.

 P.S. Initially it was reported in
 [[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28300#comment:4|this
 comment]]. teor
 [[http://ea5faa5po25cf7fb.onion/projects/tor/ticket/28676#comment:8|recommended]]
 to create separate ticket.
