Comment(by karsten):

 asn, thanks for creating #6460.  Will soon add more child tickets to it.

 atagar, gsathya, once you have a patch for using stem correctly, I'll
 apply it.  Please let me know.

 gsathya, arma, I realized yesterday that our usage of a single GeoIP and a
 single AS database is flawed.  We totally ignore the fact that an IP
 address might have belonged to a different country or AS a year ago.  What
 we should do is use different databases depending on the valid-after time
 of the consensus we're evaluating.  After all, there's a reason why these
 database are updated.  Note that this is a general problem of metrics.tpo,
 not one that is specific to this analysis.  Changing GeoIP databases were
 the reason why we gave up including country codes in sanitized bridge
 descriptors, and they're the reason why the relays-by-country graph still
 works with a static, year-old GeoIP database.  Just mentioning the problem
 here.  Maybe it's time to solve it.  Hmmmmm.
