I think it would be good to write a paragraph or two to answer Matthew's question -- why are these new numbers different, and what makes us think they're better? I admit I've lost track of the various user counting approaches too.

I thought more about this. If *you* lost track of the various user counting approaches, how shall the community understand what's going on?

I started a Q-and-A which I'm planning to add to the bottom of the metrics page when I retire the old approach:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/MetricsUserStatsQAndA

Please, everyone, help make these questions and answers better. It's a wiki page, please add your thoughts!

Thanks!

All the best, Karsten
