Comment:

 Thanks for this. The metrics team also expressed discomfort at displaying
 the round trip time average
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21315#comment:14 here].

 I propose a short term fix of only displaying an available snowflake count
 on the debug page, and a long term plan of displaying the graphs produced
 by the safe metrics data. The only thing we'd be missing which is somewhat
 useful if we went to just counts would be the number of proxy-go vs.
 webextension snowflakes which is visible in the lengths of the IDs. I'll
 see if there's some way I can capture that still.
