far"

 In the Tor man page, under DataDirectory/state, it says
 {{{
            ·   The current bandwidth accounting values (unused so far; see
                below).
 }}}
 and then below is a DataDirectory/bw_accounting section, which says
 {{{
            Used to track bandwidth accounting values (when the current
 period
            starts and ends; how much has been read and written so far this
            period). This file is obsolete, and the data is now stored in
 the
            'state' file as well. Only used when bandwidth accounting is
            enabled.
 }}}

 So which is it?

 I think it's in the state file, and we should stop saying that it's unused
 there.

 I think.
