Thanks for the clarification - very important! Meant triggering version "obsolete" status more frequently, not "rejection". Gemini 4 is so close but not quite... 2026 YTD highest annual mean count of obsolete running relays, 1465, over the last 10 years back to 2017 In light of the accelerated LLM security finds and the great paper providing a methodology to highlight relays most at risk, added some high level and operator specific metrics to track significant obsolete versions across Tor: https://metrics.1aeo.com/network-health#version-compliance Put a version obsolete notice on top operator pages: https://metrics.1aeo.com/nos-oignons.net/#version-compliance Attached some ad-hoc charts showing version status over 2026 and previous years across the network On Friday, October 16th, 2026 at 9:31 AM, Roger Dingledine via tor-relays <tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, Oct 16, 2026 at 08:37:23AM +0000, Tor at 1AEO via tor-relays wrote: > > Your Section 3 and 6 findings are playing out live right now: LLM-driven C-Tor security audits have compressed releases into a 2–3 week cycle (0.4.9.12 on Sept 8 -> 0.4.9.13 on Sept 23 -> 0.4.9.14 on Oct 7) [...] > > With rapid security releases triggering version rejections every few weeks, > > Hi 1aeo, > > Fortunately I think your LLM misunderstood this part: we are putting > out new versions of Tor every few weeks, and recommending that relay > operators upgrade to each one, but we are not kicking out relays that > haven't yet moved to the latest minor release. > > (This is different from when we started rejecting 0.4.8 relays on the > network, in June of this year.) > > --Roger > > _______________________________________________ > tor-relays mailing list -- tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to tor-relays-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >
