Comment (by irl):

 Currently Relay Search does not do any parsing of version numbers, this is
 all done by Onionoo. Relay Search makes the decision based on whether or
 not a version is recommended, but doesn't know if the current version is
 newer or older than recommended versions.

 How about if instead, we detect when a version is not a release version
 (e.g. it's an alpha) and display a distinct banner in that situation. It
 shouldn't be the case that relays are running that are release versions
 that are newer than the recommended version. (Maybe there are edge cases
 and I just didn't spot them?)
