[tor-relays] Fast search for underutilized ASN space?

For a long while, I've thought about creating reports based on unused
ASNs and then deduce providers from there.

I think it's a great idea, particularly for those in a position to shop
around for providers by ASN.

You might see what nusenu has on this, but you could also clone the TDP
stats scripts and start from there. You'd need the full list of ASNs to
diff versus current ASNs in use by Tor public nodes.

Glad you raised this issue...
