 > > Alright, I now have some code to review. This code implements my
 latest suggestion above. The R code is tested, the one-line Java code
 change is not. Please take a look at
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/metrics-web.git/log/?h=task-25383
 my task-25383] branch with two commits, 0975ca1 and d3b280a.

 > The second commit looks ok.  Regarding the first commit:  Interesting, I
 wasn't aware of the `!!` operator in R.  But, why can't we change the
 (Java) calls of the R functions and have different names for parameters
 and columns?  This would be more readable.

 I thought about that, too, but figured it would be a bigger change now.
 But I'm open to the idea. What do you suggest? Add `_` to parameter names?
 Or `_param`? Like:

 {{{
 write_networksize <- function(start, end, path) { ... }
 # a)
 write_networksize <- function(start_, end_, path_) { ... }
 # b)
 write_networksize <- function(_start, _end, _path) { ... }
 # c)
 write_networksize <- function(start_param, end_param, path_param) { ... }
 # d)
 }}}

 > >  - Decide how we announce and make changes in the future, in
 particular backward-incompatible ones. For example, Onionoo has a
 `"next_major_version_scheduled"` field to announce backward-incompatible
 changes, and we need something like that, too.

 > Good question!  Should this be a part of the comment in the csv file?

 Yes, maybe!
