Comment(by karsten):
We already publish collected exit statistics in extra-info descriptor
tarballs on the [https://metrics.torproject.org/data.html metrics data
page]. Relay operators need to set a torrc option for collecting these
statistics, though, so I don't expect there will be many such statistics.
If you want me to add graphs or tables for existing exit statistics to the
metrics website, please open a separate ticket under component Metrics
Website.
Regarding protocol statistics, I can see how we could collect statistics
in a privacy-preserving way. I think the major issue preventing us from
looking at protocols are legal requirements. I can't say anything about
legal requirements, but if we can meet them, gathering protocol statistics
in a privacy-preserving way should be technically feasible.
