Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:11 karsten]:
 > Reordering legend entries doesn't work so well for automatically
 generated graphs.  It's technically possible, but it might be confusing
 for viewers.  Here's a new
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/6443/exit-
 probability-cdf-a2.png graph] that uses different shades of green, ordered
 by displayed date.  Is that more readable?

 Wow, that's subtle. It wasn't until today (when I'm prepping graphs for a
 meeting with the funder) that I realized that the shades of green
 corresponded to time. So yes, now that I've realized it, it is better --
 but before I realized it, I just thought they were horrible color choices.
 I guess that means the answer is 'no, not more readable'. :/

 I still think it would be really useful to have some version of this graph
 on the fast-exits metrics page. But I can't figure out which one. Anybody
 else have suggestions on how to visualize this data usefully?
