Comment(by phobos):

 I use gettor stats as part of a funding pitch to explain how people
 acquire tor. All I really need however, is to answer the question of "what
 percent of downloads is from https, smtp, xmpp, or bittorrent?" If we can
 answer this question, I'm find with dropping the gettor graphs themselves.

 I also don't understand how this is too much to maintain. It sounds like
 gettor was broken, not the metrics part. The current gettor installation
 is a mess and needs to be moved to a new server. Gettor probably needs to
 be rewritten and to provide stats via some other method than http.
