Comment:

 asn, I just pushed more commits to my task-13192 branch and ran some tests
 in Chutney.  Please take a look if you like my changes.

 The next step would be to rewrite history.  So far, only you and I have
 read this code.  But the goal would be to have many more people read it.
 What we need are a few carefully crafted commits that are trivial to
 review even for people who are not C programmers.  I have the following
 commit series in mind:
  1. Your constify crypto_pk_get_digest patch.
  2. My obfuscation functions including unit tests.
  3. The two hidden-service statistics including everything from config
 option to writing stats to disk.
  4. Your log statements and any remaining XXX, including the commented-out
 code that would include stats in extra-info descriptors.  This commit
 shall not be given out to relay operators who we ask to help with
 gathering statistics, because they shouldn't accidentally run it.  It's
 just for our testing and further development.

 I can change history as described.  Just let me know if this sounds
 reasonable to you.
