Description
When looking at the declining number of tor relays [1]
I also looked at the relays by relay flag graph.
On that graph one can notice that guard relays are declining but exits are not,
but middle relays (no guard or exit flag) are declining even more and are unfortunately not explicitly on that graph.
Could you add them?

In theory, yes. In practice, not easily. Here's what we'd have to do:
servers.csv
format to either accept flag combination in theflag
column or deprecate theflag
column and include a new set of columns:isexit
,isguard
,isfast
,isstable
, andishsdir
similar to what we're doing inbandwidth.csv
.Exit
and theGuard
flag assigned.Running
minus the number ofExit
andGuard
flagged relays.My guess is that your intuition was that just the last step is necessary to make this happen.
So, is that a "yes" or "no"? I think it's a "not yet". In our roadmap draft we're writing that "we decided to give [visualizations] less priority in the next 12 months, because it will be easier to improve these visualizations when things are more consolidated." And I think that applies here. It's a good idea, but it's really a lot of work for relatively small gain. I'll leave this ticket open anyway, but better don't hold your breath.
Thanks for the suggestion!
