what fraction of the Running bridges never send us stats covering this
hour?"

> You're right. Unfortunately, I cannot change the analysis to include
network statuses, at least not easily. I'm only parsing bridge extra-info
descriptor, and even that keeps my machine busy for a few hours for a year
of data, let alone the time I'd have to spend on rewriting the analysis
code.
Weighting by uptime seconds seems like a weird approach. I have no idea
what that ought to tell us.
How much work is it to get to an answer to the question I ask above?
