Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:3 karsten]:
 > We briefly talked about this in Montreal and agreed that it's probably a
 good idea. What are the next steps?

 We change the code and potentially backport as a security issue.

 > What potentially bad consequences did we overlook? How do we find out?
 Who do we ask?

 How does metrics handle a network where some relays report every 6 hours,
 and others report every 24 hours?

 Do we need to remove some of the graphs from atlas, because they won't
 have data any more?

 I can't imagine any other consequences.

 > teor, do you think it would make sense to send a short summary of our
 Montreal discussion to tor-dev@, suggest our plan there, and ask for
 feedback? Or is that too much?

 Yes, that seems sensible. Did you want to do that, or should I?
