Comment:
Yes I understand your reason for collecting this information
and I acknowledge that most people probably do not mind publishing OS and
arch in the version string.
What about including it by default and offer a possibility to opt-out
without the need to patch and recompile?
{{{
PublishOsVersion 0|1
This setting specifies if your relay descriptor contains your OS version
string or not. The Tor Project (and others) use this published information
to create statics about network growth and to understand if certain bugs
are toubling certain Tor versions only. This information is of little use
for an attacker.
(Default: 1)
