 Roger brings up some more radical thoughts on the Weather rewrite.  Trying
 to paraphrase what he said:

   The current weather service is actually two services: a subscription
 service that sends email when a relay goes away, and a notification
 service that sends email to any relay operator who has qualified for a
 t-shirt.  The latter service is unique and important for the Tor network,
 whereas the former service could be done in other ways, like a munin or
 something.  If we fix the t-shirt service, Roger would care a great deal
 less about the subscription service being discontinued.

 We should find out how many people use the subscription service before
 deciding something here.  See #10699.

 Even if we decide to split up Weather, we should still consider fixing the
 subscription part.  But our priority may shift to fixing the t-shirt part
 first.
