directory authority/authorities need(s) updating?

[Scott Bennett]

     When I restarted my tor server a while ago. it surprised me with

Jan 26 04:25:08.406 [notice] This version of Tor (0.2.0.17-alpha) is newer than any recommended version, according to the directory authorities. Recommended versions are: 0.1.2.19,0.2.0.11-alpha,0.2.0.12-alpha,0.2.0.15-alpha

So I peeked at the cached-consensus file and the cached-status/* files.  The
cached-consensus file contained

client-versions 0.1.2.17,0.1.2.18,0.1.2.19,0.2.0.6-alpha,0.2.0.7-alpha,0.2.0.8-alpha,0.2.0.9-alpha,0.2.0.11-alpha,0.2.0.12-alpha,0.2.0.13-alpha,0.2.0.14-alpha,0.2.0.15-alpha,0.2.0.17-alpha

So far, so good, but then it had

server-versions 0.1.2.19,0.2.0.11-alpha,0.2.0.12-alpha,0.2.0.15-alpha

So what's the deal with 0.2.0.16-alpha and 0.2.0.17-alpha not being recommended
as servers?
     The cacned-status/* files also contained some oddities.  Some had only
two copies of the authority's IP address instead of a host+domainname followed
by an IP address.  One of them was for lefkada.eecs.harvard.edu, whose
cached-status file offered neither client-versions nor server-versions, even
though the cached-consensus file said it had come from this server and did
offer its not necessarily correct opinion of both.  The cached-status file for
tor.dizum.com also offered neither client-versions nor server-versions.  The
other authorities offered reasonable client-versions and server-versions.
     Would the people running the authorities please get this straightened out
ASAP?  It seems like a bad idea to have them in such disagreement.
     Thanks much!
