Test bed in MyFamily?

Hi list, Just a quick question about families: I'm in the process of setting up a 4th relay as test bed VM in order to validate the Linux and Tor updates before updating my 3 live relays (none of these are exits) This 4th relay will be fully operational, but will only be started from time to time, when updates are available After the updates are installed, I plan to leave it running for half a day or so until it appears in Tor Metrics Question: should I include this test bed relay in MyFamily or leave it completely stand alone? What would you recommend? Thanks! Patrick

Yes, please include family for all of your relays. Thanks, Iain.

Hi Ian That's what I've done, but what is the rationale if I may ask ? Personally, I prefer not to see a relay than seeing one down, but this is extremely subjective! Thanks On Wed, Aug 29, 2018 at 10:11 PM Iain Learmonth <irl@torproject.org> wrote:

MyFamily exists to protect users from end-to-end correlation. (And relay operators from requests to provide end-to-end correlation data.) It's shown on Relay Search as a convenience to operators and other users. T
