Comment:

 I'm not sure we have done that in the past that is a new protocol version
 for a buggy Tor.

 However, the argument is good that if we continue this filtering on
 version _while_ having a protocol list, we basically hardcode a failure
 mode for all other tor implementation to work as an HSDir unless they
 advertise a version >=

 @nickm, are you ok with going with HSDir=3 to be the version to be working
 for prop224? If so, 032 is really the release to do it now.
