 Replying to [comment:3 mikeperry]:

 > Instead of a huge list that no one will ever read or even look at, we
 could pass a version to check.tp.o from TBB, since it is the home page of
 TBB. Then the verbiage on check.tp.o can still remain concise, perhaps
 simply displaying an orange onion if your version is out of date.

 That won't work for users of existing TBBs, and it gives check.tpo the
 ability to log more detailed information about users.  We don't want to
 give whoever controls the check.torproject.org domain name and can get an
 SSL certificate for it that Firefox will accept the ability to collect
 that information.
