Comment(by Sebastian):

 Also, if we stop putting in the version, we will need to add more flags
 showing the compatibility with certain protocol features. I think we
 should do that, because putting in the version is a prohibitor for
 alternative relay implementations of Tor. Not that there are any
 currently, but hey. But as soon as we have that info in, relays' versions
 are again detectable (at least in a certain range of versions) because
 they will advertise different capabilities. I don't really see a way to
 solve this.
