I don't think it matters exactly how we do that. I have a slight
preference for doing all these things:
(A1) Log at info level, until we reach MIN_RELAY_CONNECTIONS_TO_WARN.
(A2) Ask operators to report at warn level, but ignore at info level.
(B1) Change MIN_RELAY_CONNECTIONS_TO_WARN to be at least 2*9, let's say
50.
(B2) Also warn if any relay has more than 4 connections (that is, more
than 2 sides multiplied by 2 IP addresses, if there is disagreement over
canonical connections).
(C) Ignore 2 connections to directory authorities, and 1 connection to
other relays.
I think we should backport A1 and A2. We should also backport at least one
of B1 or C.
(Note that in #33048, relays start making IPv4 and IPv6 connections to
other relays. So we might want to always ignore 2 connections to each
relay. We may also need to backport that change.)
