Good catch -- I've just started the process of getting the directory authorities to un-recommend the 0.4.6 versions. And you're right that it is a missed opportunity for those fingerprints that started the process of getting bumped out a few days ago. But (a) new relays that show up on 0.4.6, i.e. that don't have fingerprints that are in the reject list, will see the warning about versions, and (b) I'm going to hold off on applying the big set of 0.4.6 reject lines on moria1, so now moria1 should be issuing a warning about versions, rather than a warning about a rejected fingerprint, to affected relays. So at least in the case where the operator reads their logs well, they should have some better idea what is up.

[tor-relays] actively maintaining 'recommended versions' list (was: Tor 0.4.6.x is unsupported, please upgrade)
In the past one of the first steps was to update the 'recommended versions' at dir auths so operators get to see an indicator on Relay Search and in their logs if they run old versions of tor, even if they do not have any usable ContactInfo that can be used to potentially reach them. dir auths still recommend running tor 0.4.6.x versions today, so relay operators never got any indicator on RS or in their logs - this is a missed opportunity. the current list of recommended server versions [1]: server-versions 0.4.5.5-rc, 0.4.5.6, 0.4.5.7, 0.4.5.8, 0.4.5.9, 0.4.5.10, 0.4.5.11, 0.4.5.12, 0.4.5.14, 0.4.6.1-alpha, 0.4.6.2-alpha, 0.4.6.3-rc, 0.4.6.4-rc, 0.4.6.5, 0.4.6.6, 0.4.6.7, 0.4.6.8, 0.4.6.9, 0.4.6.10, 0.4.6.12, 0.4.7.1-alpha, 0.4.7.2-alpha, 0.4.7.3-alpha, 0.4.7.4-alpha, 0.4.7.5-alpha, 0.4.7.6-rc, 0.4.7.7, 0.4.7.8, 0.4.7.10 actively and regularly maintaining that list and making a more clear and prominent indicator on Relay Search would help the tor network. -- https://nusenu.github.io [1] https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#recommendedversions ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
