Georg Koppen:
Well, not all potential overload is DNS related overload. There are a bunch of different criteria for emitting a general overload warning. Onionoo and this relay search have a hard time differentiating between DNS related (general) overload and other (general) overload. Thus, I don't think this change is easily to make.
To have the DNS trigger included in a shared trigger info was a deliberate design decision as I understood it.
In my opinion it is better to remove this notice from Relay Search for all affected versions, even if it will also remove the warning in cases where the trigger was not DNS related, because it potentially causes alarm fatique and operators will continue to ignore the banner even after it got improved.
I think the best option here is to upgrade swiftly to 0.4.6.9/0.4.7.3-alpha.
That is not easy for all of the operators that use the Torproject's Debian repos since these versions are usually not "swiftly" available on deb.torproject.org yet (unless you switch to nightly packages which I wouldn't recommend). currently: Version: 0.4.6.8-1~d10.buster+1 [1]
