Comment (by juga):

 As far as i understand, torflow tracks new consensuses, instead sbws gets
 it at some intervals.
 For this reason, to obtain the observed bandwidth from all the results of
 a relay, we implemented to obtain both from the mean of those results or
 the last. By default, it's currently using the mean.
 I think it should probably default to the last.
 Since we need to also get the average bandwidth and the burst bandwidth,
 should these values be obtained from the last or the mean?
