 I'm making progress with combining directory request statistics from
 multiple relays for estimating daily user numbers. I asked the operators
 of fast relays to turn on the relevant two config options
 (!DirReqStatistics and !ExtraInfoStatistics) to collect these stats and
 include them in extra-info descriptors. I hope to have results from
 combining statistics of our fastest relays in two weeks from now. I'm
 positive that we're going to find ''some'' way to combine these
 statistics.

 What is the process for changing the default for all 0.2.3.x and possibly
 0.2.2.x relays to turn on directory request statistics by default?

 I prepared a patch based on master that changes the defaults. It's branch
 dirreq-stats-default in my public repository.
