Comment:

 This relay was last included in a consensus on 2017-05-31 at 22:00:00 UTC.
 It was listed there with version `0.3.0.6` which was not a recommended
 server version at the time.  That's why `recommended_version` is `false`.

 The relay may have uploaded a server descriptor with `"Tor 0.3.0.7 on
 FreeBSD"` as platform string after that (I haven't checked when that was),
 but that descriptor never made it into a consensus.

 We only look at the consensus for determining recommended versions, which
 is also what Tor clients do.

 This is not a bug in Onionoo, just a rare edge case of which there are
 probably a dozen more.  Closing as not-a-bug.  Thanks for the report
 anyway!
