Comment(by Sebastian):
I don't like the proposal, tbh. I don't buy that this will make relays who
are on dynip connections less traceable, because they will make a new key
and disappear with the old key at roughly the same time. Not reporting
version is actively harmful, because Tor clients use that to decide what
to use a given relay for. This design isn't great (especially because it
prohibits alternative implementations of Tor relays, but while we have it
we can't introduce an option like that).
I also worry that a bunch of people set that option without actually
understanding what it does, thus harming our metrics-related goals without
a real need. I don't see a real threat model that this change could detect
against. Please motivate the change more, so that I might change my mind
:)
