Re: [tor-dev] Proposal 297: Relaxing the protover-based shutdown rules

Hi,

I propose that when deciding whether to shut down because of subprotocol requirements, a Tor implementation should only shut down if the consensus is dated to some time after the implementation's release date.

How does an implementation discover its' release date? Are we going to hard-code a date in the code? If so, how are we going to remember to update that date?
