Comment:

 I'm almost inclined to say that we should turn down this feature request,
 but I'm yet undecided.

 If we add grouping by version, we'll also have to add a new version column
 to both command-line and website output.  The next logical step would be
 to allow filtering by version, so that users can further investigate a
 certain version group.  And if we do this all for versions, why not add
 OSes, too?  And what's next?

 The main focus of Compass was to investigate the Tor network for diversity
 and to keep track of the fast exits funding project.  Making Compass a
 useful tool for community managers (which is the purpose here, right?)
 would be nice, too, but we shouldn't let that change the focus too much.

 I'm putting this ticket into minor priority for now.  Also cc'ing Sathya
 to hear his opinion.
