Comment (by dgoulet):

 Woa... damn I wasn't aware of this `VersionNum` value from the `hidden-
 service-dir` line!... Phrack, we should then change the spec or start
 advertising versions!

 But actually, it doesn't seem our code supports `VersionNum`, it just
 flags the "ri":

 {{{
 T01("hidden-service-dir",  K_HIDDEN_SERVICE_DIR,  NO_ARGS, NO_OBJ ),
   if (find_opt_by_keyword(tokens, K_HIDDEN_SERVICE_DIR)) {
     router->wants_to_be_hs_dir = 1;
   }
 }}}

 Ok, so maybe removing that `VersionNum` from the spec is the move and rely
 solely on protover.
