Comment (by karsten):

 One possible way to fix this would be to change "outdated" to "not
 recommended" in that Atlas text and let the user figure out whether that
 means too old or too new. I'd guess that the relay operator knows pretty
 well whether they're running something experimental or haven't updated
 their package for a while.

 However, if that's a major usability issue, let's add the logic for
 deciding whether "not recommended" means "outdated" to Onionoo. In that
 case I wouldn't mind working from a spec.
