Comment(by robgjansen):

 Replying to [comment:3 karsten]:
 > I like the idea of adding more statistics.  But just to be sure, this is
 not about adding any aggregate statistics that relays report to the
 directory authorities that we then collect and make public?  It's just
 about making clients and relays with the TestingTorNetwork or some other
 safeguard option set report data about their operation to their control
 port, right?  Phrased differently, there will be no need to touch dir-
 spec.txt, just control-spec.txt?

 I would say yes for now. Though, I can certainly imaging that some stats
 would be useful to aggregate and report. Having [more] real live network
 stats would improve our understanding of how realistic our simulated
 networks are. But yes, that transition, if it ever happens, can happen
 separately.
