 While trying to understand why atlas / Relay Search
 displays inconsistent family counters I stumbled on a minor bug.

 Unfortunately this was only observed on data from
 2018-01-26 04:00:00 UTC and the problem disappeared in the data from
 2018-01-26 05:00:00 UTC.
 (I have the full details files if need should be)

 https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/family:FC9AC8EA0160D88BCCFDE066940D7DD9FA45495B

 The effective_family counters displayed next to the nickname is probably
 implemented
 as len(effective_family)+1 but should be len(effective_family-self)+1.

 This could be fixed in onionoo by always or never include the self
 fingerprint
 in the effective_family array.

 I like teor's suggestions for priorities so I'm including it here:> When
 someone asks for a task, they could tell you:
 > * how important it is

 This is a "nice-to-have" display fix

 > * when they need it done by

 There is no actual hard requirement.
 Maybe by the end of the year 2018?

 > * what will happen if it's not done

 A minor number of relay operators might be confused by incorrectly
 displayed eff. family member counters (but most don't know the meaning
 of that number and so it might be not that confusing after all)
