the old approach where we weight by written bytes, and the lower part is
the new analysis that weights by uptime seconds. So, the fraction of
bridges reporting statistics has been at 20% until August 2011 and has
then magically increased to 40%.

Making a new graph is easy, but it'll keep my machine busy for half a day.
I'll have to do it tonight.
That also answers the question if automating the making of these graphs is
easy: no. At least not without prior optimization, and I don't think it's
worth the effort. I can make a new graph whenever we want one.
