Comment (by dcf):
Counting responses rather than requests may fix a problem we observe in
#18203, where a Tor blocking event in Turkey caused a paradoxical
''increase'' rather than decrease in the direct-user graph. dgoulet found
that the increase in the graphs corresponded with an increase in the
number of failed consensus downloads from the directory authorities.
comment:13:ticket:21014:
> This indeed makes me think that the metrics graphs are overcounting
users in this case where consensus downloads are being interrupted. That's
why the direct-user graphs show ''more'' users when in reality there are
probably fewer.

> #18203 is a proposal to base direct-user counts on directory
''responses'', rather than directory ''requests''. Doing that might solve
this overcounting issue.
