Hi,
I recall that Roger Dingledine pointed out that this is a stress situation for the whole network, but the flags should be in order in just a few days time.
Better to update OpenSSL right now, discard everything in /keys and wait for the recovery. I expect that the vast majority of the systems should be back to business as usual in about 2-3 days.
After updating the OpenSSL, I chopped our relay's keys at noon EST yesterday. The traffic has indeed collapsed since then. Old configuration was averaging around 55Mb/s per my Cacti. A URL here:

This morning my Cacti graphs say it is still sitting at near nothing, like 1.5Mb. "arm" says between 500-600Kb/s. The new URL is here and at least at this time, you can really see the dropoff in the 3-day graph.

I wonder how long it will take our relays to recover?
I wonder if it is a good idea, or technically feasible, to do a one time kick-over of something in the Tor network so that the system sees what the relay flags etc. should be on these emergency-redefined relays. Certainly if everyone updated at once and the traffic died like this everywhere, Tor would be pretty messed.
