 for a proposed solution to this ticket.

 Looks good and is almost ready to be merged. The only changes I'd make
 are:
  - Append new change log entries to existing ones.
  - Start the new change log entry with a capital letter and end it with a
 period.
  - Squash the second commit into the first, because it only removes a file
 that was accidentally added in the first commit.

 > 1. I did not change
 src/test/org/torproject/metrics/onionoo/updater/DummyStatusEntry's
 "getUnmeasured()" to "isUnmeasured()" because the interface
 org.torproject.descriptor.NetworkStatusEntry requires it, and I figured
 org.torproject.descriptor is outside the scope of this ticket.

 Agreed. We'd first have to change metrics-lib interfaces, put out a new
 major metrics-lib release, and then update the tests in Onionoo. Worth
 doing, though we would ideally combine this with other changes that
 require a major metrics-lib version bump. '''Let's create a ticket before
 closing this one.'''

 > Note however that many docs classes had a "getMeasured()" method that is
 now "isMeasured()", which differs slightly from NetworkStatusEntry's
 "getUnmeasured()".

 That's two different thing. One says ''whether'' a relay was measured, the
 other says what the ''measurement result'' was.

 > 2. Several classes in org.torproject.metrics.onionoo.docs (like
 SummaryDocument) have a field called "isRelay" which has a getter method
 named "isRelay()". I think this makes sense because of what the field
 represents, but some folks prefer not to have field names repeated as
 method names. I didn't change this, just an FYI.

 We could maybe rename the field to `relay`. Or leave it as it is.

 I'll again leave this here for irl to review, too, before merging it to
 master with the minor changes listed above. Thanks!
