 Replying to [comment:2 karsten]:
 > What we could do is extend the statistics to include less frequent
 parameter combinations beyond the top 3 without giving a request count for
 privacy reasons. Then we'd at least find out whether the fingerprint
 parameter is used at all, over a day or two.

 Please review
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/karsten/onionoo.git/commit/?h=task-26919&id=d767dba374bef548a6f64c1932b954b702b0cacb
 commit d767dba in my task-26919 branch].

 If this patch looks okay, let's include it in the next release and
 announce for a month later that we're going to remove the parameter. And
 just in case it turns out that the "fingerprint" parameter is used more
 than we thought, we can still leave it in. (We'll do another change in
 that next major version, which is the "version" parameter change, so there
 will still be a new major version.)
