FYI, between here there was thread tor-talk 'many new relays' of possible event around end 2009-06 to begining 2009-07. Along with usual posts of people about potential things to detect.
Interesting, thanks for pointing this out. This event is visible in the diagram but not as a sudden spike but more as a temporary increase in the base rate: http://www.nymity.ch/new_fingerprints/2009_new_fingerprints.png
This event also shows why a simple threshold-based detection mechanism is insufficient: Sybils can be added slowly over several hours or days in order to stay under the threshold.
