 This ticket is to make Tor aware of the top-30 destinations of Tor Exit
 traffic, by defining a destination such as "the aggregation of the
 autonomous system numbers of a specific organization" .

 This could require each Tor instance to have an in-memory awareness of,
 let's say first top 500 destination AS numbers to which he's sending Tor
 Exit traffic, aggregating them by the owner (es: "Facebook" or "Google"),
 then with some magic privacy-aware protocol share it with some measurement
 collection authority that elaborate the "Tor network top 30 destinations
 by amount of traffic", that get authenticated by some kind of consensus
 and made it publicly available.

 The privacy impact and relevant security risk assessment must be done,
 understanding effectively what can be measured without harming end-users.
