 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20170919232058/https://metrics.torproject.org
 /userstats-bridge-transport.html archive]) says "These numbers are derived
 from directory requests counted on bridges."

 But #18203 says that bridge estimate come from counting ''responses'', not
 ''requests'': "We're using the number of responses to estimate bridge
 users but the number of requests to estimate direct users."
