Comment (by karsten):

 Tough question!

 It's difficult to draw a clear line between those two categories.

 However, here's one argument against moving the total consensus weight
 graph to the traffic section: in the future we'll want to add more graphs
 that use consensus weight as metric rather than relay count: consensus
 weight by tor version, consensus weight by platform, etc. If we add those
 new graphs to the traffic section and remove their equivalents by relay
 count from the servers section, the servers section will soon be empty.

 My suggestion is to put everything that uses ''bytes'' as metric into the
 traffic section and everything else into the servers section. Yes, I'm
 aware that consensus weights are based on measured traffic; but the
 purpose is to have a better weight for a relay than 1/n of all relays in
 the network.

 Hmm.
