Comment(by arma):

 If we had a full-time metrics researcher, one workaround would be to
 calculate what dirreq-share the relay would be using the old formula, and
 plot that curve too.

 Even doing a couple of data points by hand (some where your red dots are,
 and some not) would give us a better intuition here.

 It seems very weird to me that the fraction of the network we're seeing
 would drop by half, yet the number of requests we're seeing would remain
 steady. So I'm trying to come up with reasons why the fraction of the
 network didn't actually drop.
