Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 iwakeh]:
 > Looking at the graph in comment:1 the old and new calculations only
 differ by a constant factor during April 2018.  Would be interesting to
 see a longer history for this comparison.

 Agreed. I'll fire up the engine now to produce a longer history. That will
 take a while, though.

 > And true, the extrapolation of the total is really not that useful and
 complicates reproducibility unnecessarily.

 Agreed!

 > As an improvement (that ought to be easy to implement on first thought)
 maybe add the counts reporting vs. not-reporting (in some useful way)?

 I'll add some counts for consideration here, though I'm unsure if we want
 to display those to the user. It would be a graph similar to the
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/hidserv-frac-reporting.html Fraction of
 relays reporting onion-service statistics] graph, and I'm yet unclear
 whether that's useful or just confusing for 90% of our users.

 Grabbing the ticket and setting status to accepted.

 Thanks for the feedback so far!
