Re: [tor-relays] Operator straw poll: Reasons why you use Tor LTS versions?

Again, common? I'm going to guess not common (or self-supporting), but
this does feel like something we could measure by checking for git
versions that don't make sense to us in the full descriptor archives.

That could be hard: some distros add their own patches using git.

How can we fix that for you, or at least, how can we make it easier to
run the very latest stable series Tor on your relay?

The answers are probably something like:
6. Provide better relay operator support, and direct me to those support
  channels in the log messages, when my relay fails to launch

+1 100%. I think this will go light years towards getting rid of non-LTS
Tors and LTS tor's alike, regardless of reason. Then we can ask the
remainder.

7. Support old features for longer> 8. Stop refactoring so much code

Nah. I'm not interested in these, even if populism demands them. Some
shit needs to go away because it is not safe to keep around, and some
stuff needs to be better organized to make it easier to improve.

I agree. But you asked for answers, so I gave them.
