Comment(by karsten):

 Replying to [comment:3 Sebastian]:
 > Looks good mostly. In the README, maybe the link between the different
 files could be made clearer?

 I think the real problem here is that we have too many independent scripts
 that may or may not be optional, depending on what you're doing.  I think
 we should implement #2565 and get rid of most of the files described in
 the `README`.  This cleanup is mostly for people looking into Torperf
 before that happens, but it's probably not perfect.

 > extra_stats.py really is optional, too; and a note could be added that
 if it is used, consolidate_stats.py will help make sense of the output.

 `extra_stats.py` may be optional, but we included it in the basic setup
 instructions in `measurements_HOWTO`, so saying it's optional might
 confuse people.  Also, `consolidate_stats.py` is broken right now, because
 we changed the `.extradata` file format (I just opened #2626 for that).

 > On the other hand, maybe it's not that big a deal because people running
 torperf will already know what kind of experiment they want to do. hm.

 Right, whoever uses Torperf these days will have to know what they want to
 do.  We should change that (#2565).

 Sounds like we can merge?
