 Our current code in metrics-web that estimates daily direct users is quite
 complex, despite making a few simplifications that might affect results.
 Our estimates of daily bridge users in metrics-web are highly inaccurate
 as found in #5807.  We'll want to re-implement the two user-counting
 algorithms for direct and bridge users based on directory requests.  The
 result will be more accurate daily user numbers.  Pyonionoo, the data
 provider for the Atlas and Compass services, seems like a good platform
 for implementing daily user statistics, rather than extending metrics-web
 or starting a new codebase.  Pyonionoo would provide statistics and pre-
 processed graph data via its JSON interface which Atlas and/or Compass
 could then query to visualize daily user numbers.
