[tor-dev] Tor metrics: Questionable relays-by-platform accounting

Looking at "Tor metrics - Relays by platform" [0] one could think that the number of "FreeBSD" relays is only slightly lower than the number of "Windows" relays.

It also looks like the number of "other" platforms is constantly zero while the number of "Darwin" relays is unclear (but potentially zero as well).

Obviously that's incorrect:

fk@r500 ~ $sudo -u _tor grep platform /usr/jails/tor-jail/var/db/tor/cached-descriptors | cut -w -f 5 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn 6662 Linux 555 Windows 286 FreeBSD 83 OpenBSD 25 Darwin 10 NetBSD 4 SunOS 4 ElectroBSD 4 Bitrig 2 DragonFly 1 GNU/kFreeBSD 1 CYGWIN_NT-10.0-WOW

Is it possible that the "Tor metrics" count everything but "Linux" and "Windows" as FreeBSD?
