Thanks David! For each Tor version number, you could list the total weight for that version (currently shown in your rightmost column) divided by the sum of all weights across all versions. That will yield a fraction of the weight that corresponds to each version (which you could convert into a percentage), which I think it easier to interpret that the raw weight totals.

PLP,
Rob
