Comment:

 I agree that "*" isn't terribly useful information and that we should
 replace it with relay counts wherever we can.

 While doing so, I wonder if we should merge AS number and AS name columns.
 Otherwise, it might be unclear whether we're counting unique AS numbers or
 AS names.  What we're really interested in are unique ASes.  So, having a
 single column for them should make things clearer.

 We should also put the total count in the fingerprint column, not in the
 nickname column, because we're counting unique fingerprints, not unique
 nicknames.

 Here's an example (numbers are totally made up):

 || # || CW || Advertised Bandwidth || P_Guard || P_Middle || P_Exit ||
 Nickname || Fingerprint || Exit || Guard || CC || AS ||
 || 1 || 28.6420% || 23.7769% || 26.0988% || 24.7455% || 35.0820% || * ||
 (567 relays) || (182) || (251) || de || (25) ||
 || 2 || 21.8611% || 27.9476% || 25.8289% || 21.9512% || 17.8038% || * ||
 (787 relays) || (244) || (307) || us || (52) ||

 In the standard, non-grouping case, the AS column would contain something
 like "AS39138 rrbone UG".

 Thoughts?
