Comment (by karsten):

 I'm attaching a first scatterplot showing advertised bandwidths on x and
 consensus weights on y, and I'm attaching the underlying CSV file.

 [[Image(overweight-relays-2017-11-06.png, 700px)]]

 Here are the top 20 relays by consensus weight to advertised bandwidth
 ratio:

 Would we expect something entirely different? There are a few outliers,
 but that does seem plausible with the delay between a relay advertising
 its bandwidth and the majority of bandwidth authorities measuring it.
