See

, in particular:

The only feedback I got was 
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10460 , in particular:

> Roger tells me the reason why he's looking at the fast-exits graphs on the metrics website is to get a handle on whether we're maintaining a good population of fast exits. Each time he looks at them he wishes he had a different graph though. The graph he wants to see has to do with growth of the network over time in terms of number of good relays. He says maybe the graph he wants is something like "the speed of the 100th fastest relay" and "the speed of the 100th fastest exit". And he says by 'speed' he probably means self-advertised capacity.

There are two new graphs available as replacement:

All the best,
