Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:24256 arma]:
 > Tor has some somewhat complicated logic for deciding whether a version
 is obsolete -- see tor_version_is_obsolete(). Is atlas's best plan to try
 to reproduce Tor's logic? Should we try to specify it, e.g. in version-
 spec.txt, so external programs have a chance of getting it right?

 I opened #24257 for the Tor side of this fix.
