Comment:
This looks good, but the important bit here was the version check and the
homepage load, not the removal of the new identity version check. I've
removed the "New Identity" bits of the patch, and merged the rest. I've
left the limit at 15 minutes. It is a static file after all..
The actual check.torproject.org *homepage* is probably the big issue in
terms of load, but let's save that for a new ticket where we replace the
update notification with some kind of browser UI, and maybe an additional
ticket where we replace the browser homepage with a local version. I will
make a new tickets for the update notification which will combine #4238
and #6096, and a fresh ticket for making a static, local homepage with our
choice of search engine (at long last).
Calling this fixed because I think this ticket was rather unclear in the
first place, and the patch does rate limit the version check, which is
useful in and of itself.
