Replying to [comment:3 Sebastian]:

it, which makes the entire idea broken. We should either remove it or (my
preference) keep it as it is.
If we make it opt-out and a nontrivial number of relays actually opt out,
that would convince me that we should turn it off by default. Relay
operators are volunteers after all, and we shouldn't make their Tor do
something they dislike too much unless we have an excellent reason.
So I could be talked into adding this as an opt-out feature, sure.
(Disabling the reporting of your Tor version should not be easy, though --
we use that as part of the protocol. That said, we might be able to
tolerate not publishing the git hash. Though we already run into problems
with people running maint-0.2.2 (which reports they're running Tor
0.2.2.19-alpha when actually they're running something much closer to
release-0.2.2).)
