Sebastian, thanks for clarification. I remember there were some late changes  
#9063, #9072, #9093, and #10169 which made it into 2.4.X because of the DOS 
issues Rob Jansen described in https://blog.torproject.org/blog/new-tor-
denial-service-attacks-and-defenses.

Would it not be better to bring relays to a version that have defenses against 
these new attacks? 

Thanks & regards,

Torland
