[tor-relays] reaching out to relay ops that run outdated versions



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

FYI: I just sent out the email bellow to ~160 relay operators - I hope
this results in some actual improvements.

It is a bit disappointing to see even torservers.net, DFRI, icetor,
Frenn vun der Enn, Calyx, Cymru in the recipients list.

The recipient list is based on the following output (limited to relays
faster than 999KB/s):

grep -v 0.2.5.6 Tor_query_EXPORT.csv |grep -v 0.2.4.23|grep -v
0.2.6.0|head -n 344
(csv is from torstatus.blutmagie.de)
