Comment (by teor):

 chutney's mixed network logs a warning, but doesn't fail:
 {{{
 PASS: mixed+hs-v2
 Detail: chutney/tools/warnings.sh /Users/base/chutney/net/nodes.1536899915
 Warning: At least one protocol listed as recommended in the consensus is
 not supported by this version of Tor. You should upgrade. This version of
 Tor will eventually stop working as a client on the Tor network. The
 missing protocols are: LinkAuth=1 Number: 6
 Warning: At least one protocol listed as recommended in the consensus is
 not supported by this version of Tor. You should upgrade. This version of
 Tor will eventually stop working as a relay on the Tor network. The
 missing protocols are: LinkAuth=1 Number: 27
 }}}

 New tors only fail in a network with a majority of old authorities. (And
 the network itself would only fail if it was a minimal network, and those
 new tors were essential to transmitting client data.)
