Comment:

 I'm moving this into the community side, since it isn't a ticket for
 changing or fixing the blog.

 Also, the total capacity of the network has not been going down, even if
 the number of relays has been slightly dropping. And actually, the number
 of relays hasn't been dropping either:
 https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html?start=2016-03-28&end=2017-06-26

 So I would say the sky is not falling, and the better thing to do is make
 a plan for relay operator outreach -- better sense of community and
 support for the people already running them, better docs for how to set
 them up, etc -- and then consider advertising those things.

 But I will leave it to the community team to decide how they want to
 handle the ticket. :)
