 The graphs Version, Platform and Bandwidth
 https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html#versions
 https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html#platforms
 https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html#bandwidth

 show a significant drop.

 It looks like suddenly all relays would have disappeared or the
 authorities would have been down or overloaded.

 On IRC "Sebastian" told me that this happened due to a "bug with parsing
 descriptors". He also said that the graphs can probably be fixed.

 It looks strange and scary, so it should be "fixed" whenever that's
 possible. Alternatively you might wanna explain it in a blog post.
