So perhaps we could use:
- uptime for the amount of time since the tor process started
- reachable time for the amount of time the relay has been online and
available to clients
I will raise this issue at the next Metrics team meeting on Thursday. I'm not sure how many clients we would break if we rename the uptime documents, but maybe it's the right thing to do in the long run.
I think you should prioritise renaming things in relay search and the metrics website.
Renaming backends isn't as high a priority: updating the specification is much cheaper, and it achieves a similar outcome.
