Comment (by phw):

 Thanks for starting this discussion, Karsten. Your analysis is very
 insightful and already helped me
 [https://dip.torproject.org/phw/bridgestrap/blob/master/tor.go#L19 pick a
 threshold for bridgestrap].

 > The next step here is to discuss '''what''' results we want to add to
 Tor Metrics. Are these graphs useful, or is there something potentially
 more interesting in the data that we want to have? I'm hoping for input
 from other teams here.

 > All graphs above are ECDFs, unlike other graphs on Tor Metrics. This is
 a smaller issue on the graphing side, because we need to process non-
 aggregated measurements for making a graph. It's also a possible issue on
 the usability side, because ECDFs are probably harder to understand than
 time plots.

 From an anti-censorship point of view, I find your third graph – the
 bootstrap times broken down by percentages and countries – very useful. It
 gives us a good idea of where Tor (does not) work and the bootstrap phases
 provide a hint of how a block is implemented. It would also be great if
 one could provide arbitrary date ranges to explore this graph, just like
 it's currently possible for most metrics.
