 fetching will be obsolete in CollecTor then?

 Possibly, yes.  The plan is to switch from Torperf to OnionPerf, and
 OnionPerf might come with its own code to fetch data from other OnionPerf
 instances and make that available to the world.  But I'm not entirely
 certain which role CollecTor will play once OnionPerf is in place.  We
 might be able to remove the code that merges .data and .extradata files,
 but we might need to keep the Torperf results archiving code.  I'd say
 don't give up on the Torperf module in CollecTor just yet.
