-----------------------------+--------------------------------
This idea came up by thinking about how to prefer picking fallbacks that
are located in less famous areas to increase diversity of dir-mirror/Tor
traffic. (#18749) Diversity could be honored by a higher diversity-weight
if relays are located in countrys with rare Tor usage. Same with with
unique adressrange, fameless ASes or not widely used OSes. Something like
a diversity weight system could probably take place not just for
choosing/rating fallbacks. Data like "Top-10 countries by directly
connecting users" on metrics-page could be used for instance to give
lesser chance of leading traffic to countys with high amount of mean daily
users. Or to increase the chance of picking a circuit through a nonfamous
AS. Could this be someting?
