These statistics are being collected for years now, and it might take another year or so for relays to upgrade to stop collecting them. So what's another month.
Agreed.
Hi Karsten,
Could you please summarize your current plans regarding stopping or replacing the collection method for sensitive statistics, based on discussions in Valencia? I'm particularly interested in the plans for the client IP and the exit stats that are categorized by exit port.
Hi Rob,
are you asking for a summary of our discussion in Valencia or for the current state of things?
Here's a quick update on the two stats you're mentioning:
- I'm working on replacing client IP stats by implementing stats on directory requests by transport and IP version (#8786). I got a bit distracted by the fact that we're currently not counting IPv6 directory requests at all (#18460), but once that's solved, I'll resume working on the other ticket.
- I asked a metrics team volunteer to look at exit stats and the possible benefits from gathering them and then forgot about that task. I'll look at these stats myself this week.
I also added an item to the metrics roadmap, so that we can revisit this discussion at metrics team meetings:

All the best, Karsten
