 Replying to [comment:26 gsathya]:
 > [https://github.com/gsathya/metrics-tasks/compare/bug_1854 Done]. I just
 monkey patched router.bandwidth to router.advertised_bw, I think this is
 fine for now.

 Hmm.  I didn't look very closely, but I think this doesn't work.  We'll
 want to exclude relays based on descriptor bandwidth but calculate the
 various metrics based on consensus weight.  With your patch we're using
 descriptor bandwidth for everything.

 This specific patch is probably moot, now that we're going to change the
 analysis from entropy values to L_\inf.  But we'll want to have a similar
 patch for the L_\inf stuff, too.
