 With `HiddenServiceStatistics 0|1` merged in 0.2.6 which collects two
 stats as of now (https://research.torproject.org/techreports
 /extrapolating-hidserv-stats-2015-01-31.pdf), the question is now should
 we enable them by default in order to have a larger amount of relay
 reporting those statistics?

 Metrics is going to publish the results soon:
 https://metrics.torproject.org/hidserv-data.html

 Keep in mind that this ticket is *only* about the two current statistics
 explained in the report linked above. Future experimental statistics could
 use a second option to enable "experimental stats" instead of the current
 torrc option that is considered to enable the stable-safe ones (see child
 ticket for that).
