 > Currently the arguments that are passed to the graphing backend are only
 date ranges and countries, so plotting for any one thing that isn't a
 country won't be supported. In the new approach, would the CSV for all
 countries still be usable for this? If not, we should consider what other
 similar use cases we might be breaking.

 I did take a look at the CSV for all countries (i.e.,
 https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-
 combined.csv?start=2017-12-03&end=2018-03-03&country=all, what you get
 when you click "CSV" on https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-
 combined.html without selecting a country). However, it only gives you the
 sum of all countries together, not the results for each country
 individually:
 {{{
 date,users
 2017-12-03,37760
 2017-12-04,39172
 2017-12-05,40447
 ...
 }}}
 If the "all" CSV link had all the countries in separate rows, then the new
 approach would work for this use case.
