Comment:

 The goal here is to learn if we can shut down Weather without making too
 many relay operators sad?  In one of the summer dev meeting sessions
 yesterday afternoon we decided to find a maintainer for Weather and keep
 it running.  Still, having some usage data might help us decide on the
 priority to finding a maintainer.

 I could imagine gathering two stats here:

  - Number of relay operators (un-)registering every day.  We can probably
 learn that from (sanitized) weblogs.  Adding Weather's logs to webstats
 and looking at webalizer output might tell us what we want to know.

  - Number of registered relays and number of such relays which were active
 in the past month.  If someone can give me a dump of relay fingerprints in
 the database, I can compare that to the consensuses and output the two
 numbers.

 Would that help?
