Comment (by teor):

 There's also a bunch of other work we do when we stop supporting a
 release:
 * Make deprecated options obsolete, and remove their implementations

 And an LTS release:
 * deprecate obsolete consensus methods:
   * https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/master/proposals/290
 -deprecate-consensus-methods.txt
 * deprecate obsolete protocol versions:
   * https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/master/proposals/303
 -protover-removal-policy.txt

 Along with removing the tor release from the chutney, stem, and sbws CI,
 we should also update to the latest CI dependencies:
 * OS images
 * python versions
 We should do these tasks for fallback-scripts at the same time, even
 though it doesn't depend on a particular tor version in CI.

 This is also a good time to grep for references to obsolete releases (for
 example: `0.2.9` and `029`), and update or remove them.
