Turn on directory request statistics by default
I'm making progress with combining directory request statistics from multiple relays for estimating daily user numbers. I asked the operators of fast relays to turn on the relevant two config options (DirReqStatistics and ExtraInfoStatistics) to collect these stats and include them in extra-info descriptors. I hope to have results from combining statistics of our fastest relays in two weeks from now. I'm positive that we're going to find some way to combine these statistics.
What is the process for changing the default for all 0.2.3.x and possibly 0.2.2.x relays to turn on directory request statistics by default?
I prepared a patch based on master that changes the defaults. It's branch dirreq-stats-default in my public repository.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
