Comment (by sanren):

 Yes, it would be better, if torcheck shows alert message if useragent
 contains uncommon information such as nightly build, or non-standard user-
 agent.
 I created this proposal after I'd used orweb from my smartphone. This
 browser has issue with user-agent by default, using default's browser
 user-agent string. This string contains sensitive information, such as os
 information, nightly build information and so on. I understand, that it is
 bug in orweb, but we can warn tor users if they meet this problem.
 Also, you can look at http://panopticlick.eff.org.
