 Replying to [comment:12 atagar]:
 > Thanks Tim! Sorry, bit naive - are version cells for getting the tor
 version?

 Versions cells contain the link version, which doesn't change very often,
 and is mostly hidden from users:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/tor-spec.txt#n503

 > Is there anything end users may want to take advantage of that I should
 start integrating?

 Not at this point, as far as I can tell: the interesting stuff happens
 once I write the circuit encryption code and can exchange data with a
 remote relay. Until then it's just boring byte packing and spec queries.
