Hi all. As per ticket 4788 [1] we'll soon be removing relays that are out of date and no longer safe to run, which includes anything older than version 0.2.1.30. When I last checked this included 257 relays [2] and I've already notified the 107 of those that had contact information available.
If you're running one of those relays then you'll need to upgrade to keep operating. Sorry about the inconvenience and thanks for running a relay! -Damian

Do you mind me asking why exactly do we keep 0.2.1x around, even the actual debian stable distri has already 0.2.35x included. That version is so old that it really creeps me out.
Shouldn't it be a general policy to keep at least just systems around with the actual stable version from the tor website ?
The metrics stats are also showing that 0.2.1x is barely existing anymore, just dump em. Why exactly is 0.2.0x still listed there ?
Just a few thoughts.

There's still debian oldstable. Once that dies, 0.2.1.x is dead.

I don't understand what you mean here

close to 400 is a lot more than "barely existing". Also note that this shows nothing about the bandwidth distribution, which is really the important thing here. Maybe we can get a graph from Karsten for provided bw / version?
Just a few thoughts.
