Thank you for the reply.
I missed the post when searching the topic--the relays are a bit unusual and I keep tripping over them. . .

To be honest, I reckon these UbuntuCore nodes are almost all mundane desktops and server.
I think there are only a few added each day, for a total of about one or two thousand that intend to be bridges and relays. Intent doesn't mean they have the inbound connectivity to join the consensus, though.

So they are not a single unified operator.
What fraction of consensus weights are they? I'm under the impression they're running on refrigerators or whatever so most of them have crappy connectivity.
