Comment (by juga):

 i thought that the descriptor observed bandwidth (used by bwauths) comes
 only from the self-test, but arma comments in irc:

 > the descriptor observed bandwidth comes from all of the use of the
 relay. a little bit of that use is the bandwidth self-test. more of it is
 bwauth load. and ideally, most of it is from actual clients

 so then maybe it can be removed
