Comment:

 Hey Karsten, thanks for the graph. It's good to see that most relays have
 a reasonable consensus weight to bandwidth ratio.

 But for a log plot, that spread seems a lot: in some cases, it looks like
 relays with similar advertised bandwidths get 10x the consensus weight.
 And we still think that bandwidth allocation isn't balanced
 geographically. From what people tell us, US East and EU West coasts get a
 large allocation, and it falls off from there.

 Can you show the important section of this graph (the high bandwidths and
 the high consensus weights) using a linear plot?
 Is there a way of showing the consensus weight to advertised bandwidth
 ratios on a map? Maybe as geolocated points?
