Comment (by bugzilla):

 Replying to [comment:14 karsten]:
 Hmm, mandatory auto-update mechanism (take or die) from Tor consensus is
 required.
 > 421 Tor 0.2.7.6 on Linux
 Maybe, Tor should warn/info when the repository is different from the
 recommended.
 > 124 Tor 0.2.8.6 on Linux
 Suspiciously. But people that check manually for a new version can be
 aware since Aug 24 only...
 > 44 Tor 0.2.8.2-alpha on Linux
 What's the reason to allow alphas to be bridges? Separate "alpha bridges"
 category for clients who like experiments is preferable.
 > 94 Tor 0.2.4.23 on Windows 7
 There are no reasons not to update on Windows except that Expert Bundle
 lacks auto-updater. But it has 0.2.8.6 version now, so your data shows
 that all Windows bridges, except those 0.2.4.x highly outdated, are
 maintained by up-to-date rebuilding from source. Is it plausible?
