Thanks for a considered reply.
I accept that all that is done under the surface is done for the good of Tor.
It is the pointless game I object to such as amusing a few by changing Atlas to New Atlas when Atlas represented a function which we rely on and we will use under another 'brand'.
(Helping a woman stopped in a dead Lexis I told her Toyota's were unlikely to have big faults. She pompously rejected that as it was much superior to a Toyota and shrivelled into silence on seeing Toyota in huge letters on the engine block.) Just time wasting games.

Hi,

Can anyone explain how changing things to The New such as Arm to Nyx and Atlas to Relay Search advances anything apart from boredom?
In the case of Atlas/Relay Search, we are consolidating codebases into something more maintainable, with less code duplication and general duplication of effort.
By integrating Relay Search into the Tor Metrics website, we will also move towards a more seamless UX and making it easier to discover related data, the sources of the data and any analysis that might be useful.
On the surface it may look that all that's changed is the theme and the name, but a lot is going on underneath too.
Thanks, Iain.
