Comment (by teor):

 Copied from #30196:

 > > * The need for AS as well as country allows us to correlate BGP events
 with bandwidth changes. Ideally we can know both the AS of the scanner and
 the target. Tor Metrics already knows the AS of the relay.
 >
 > When we decided to include the country (#29299) i remember arma
 commenting in irc to just add it in the configuration to don't make the
 code more complicated. I'm commenting more on this in (#30229)
