Comment (by karsten):

 Thanks for refactoring this code.  I'll have to look at your patch more
 closely.  But I'd rather want to do after publicly deploying this new
 graph.  On a first look I don't see any harm in splitting up existing code
 into multiple classes.  But I also don't see a clear benefit that would
 urge us to make the change immediately.  Maybe I'm just hesitant, because
 I don't know yet how the future Metrics website will use databases for
 aggregation, what data format it will use for graph or table data, whether
 metrics-lib will support webstats logs, whether CollecTor will collect and
 serve webstats logs, and so on.  Any efforts we make in refactoring this
 code might be wasted if we make major changes in a few months.  Maybe we
 can combine discussing this specific code and thinking about the vision of
 a future Metrics website.  We can start doing that next week (better: next
 month), ideally after the Metrics and the Onionoo/Atlas deliverables are
 completed and invoiced.

 Regardless of the above, can you extract that bugfix you mentioned into a
 separate commit that I can cherry-pick?  Or can you describe it in more
 detail, so that I can fix it here?

 Note that there's also another trivial commit in
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/metrics-web.git/log/?h=task-21236-4
 my task-21236-4 branch]:

  - [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/metrics-
 web.git/commit/?h=task-21236-4&id=9341942ebc2f62a3aa1fda7a255ffdeb9fbd7740
 9341942] fixes a syntax error in `metrics.json` that broke the webapp.

 Oh, the [https://metrics.torproject.org/webstats-tb.html Tor Browser
 downloads and updates" graph] is now deployed, but not yet linked from the
 homepage.  Please give it a try and see if anything is broken or unclear.

 Thanks!
