 We were talking today about how to compare bandwidth authorities, and make
 sure that different implementations are producing similar figures.

 One easy way to compare bandwidth authority implementations is to compare
 their total bandwidth weights.

 For example, this is the total bandwidth weight in the consensus:
 {{{
 $ cat Library/Application\ Support/TorBrowser-Data/Tor/cached-microdesc-
 consensus | grep "^w" | cut -d= -f2 | grep -v Unmeasured | paste -s -d + -
 | bc
 43763163
 }}}

 Do you think we can do a graph of total bandwidth weight for votes?
 Should this go somewhere on metrics?
 Or should it be a once-off thing that Tom (or someone else) does?
