 Here are requests matching the `tor-browser*.apk` pattern over the past
 six months:

 Which of these would you want to have included in a graph?

 Assuming we're making a new graph for Tor on Android, what would you want
 to have included in that graph? More specifically:

  - What's the difference between the 1.0, the 8.0, and the 8.5 series? Are
 these the major versions you'd like to distinguish?
  - Do you care about the `armv7` and `x86` distinction? What about
 `-multi`?
  - Why do some resource strings start with `/torbrowser/`, others with
 `/dist/torbrowser/`, and even others with `/dist/torbrowser/mobile/`? Are
 these all basically the same?
  - I didn't look at response codes yet. Are there any redirects in place?
