 Well, I admit that I do want to better understand the extent of the
 vulnerability of these obsolete versions of Tor.

 They're clearly not able to function as Tor clients, so their only roles
 in life are a) making my upstream wonder if they should unplug moria, and
 b) being a security hazard to whatever user still runs them.
