Comment(by bastik):

 (I intended to ask per mail, but this ticket is better suited, I assume)

 I assumed that the hourly detail on the flags existed to see/check if
 there were any glitches in the consensus.

 Authorities get together once an hour; if there's something wrong and half
 the stable relays lose their stable flag for an hour the hourly graph
 would show that, while the daily does not. At least not that clear. (Is
 there another way to see something like that happening?) For me it was THE
 reason it would exist. Sudden changes, where one would look into the
 consensus of this hour. (Were there other reasons it existed?)

 (For example if the graph shows 20 more relays with the running flag than
 in the previous hour it wouldn't be a good indicator to say 20 relays
 joined in that hour, because it could be 30, as 10 left.)

 I get the scaling part, but what prevent adding new graphs (if hourly is
 kept for the flags)?

 Questions in brackets can be answered if there's enough time to do so.
