 > I'd say lets close this (#25558) as a duplicate of #24256

 This is not a duplicate. This ticket is about updating the text to make it
 more useful as an intermediate step between now and #24256 being
 implemented.

 Replying to [comment:4 arma]:
 > Remember also that *users* use atlas to better understand the relays
 they might use. Do you want the people who make relay blacklists to add
 all of the relays-running-new-versions to their lists, because we said
 they are insecure?

 That too, indeed.

 My attempt:

 {{{
 This relay is running a version of Tor that is not recommended.
 It is most likely too old and may be missing important security fixes. If
 this is the case, and this is your relay, you should update it as soon as
 possible. Pre-release versions (versions that are too new) are also not
 recommended and so will trigger this warning message.
