Comment (by gk):

 Attached is the output of a new script run compared to what dgoulet did in
 comment:16 about two months ago. Relays are included if they are running
 0.2.9.x or 0.4.0.x or 0.3.y (y != 5) AND have some kind of ContactInfo.
 (It seems the entries to consider went down from about 680 to around 400
 compared to the previous run, which is great)

 I am working on a next iteration of the output that removes all the
 duplicated ContactInfo entries so we get a better list of whom to contact
 and an understanding of how large that contact effort would be and where
 the low-hanging fruits were (depending on how we would like to proceed).

 Meanwhile, one thing to think about is whether we want to treat 0.2.9 and
 0.4.0 differently or what criteria for treating them differently could be.
 That is, speaks there anything for, say, keeping 0.4.0 around for a bit
 longer while rejecting 0.2.9 asap (or vice versa)?
