---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 When trying to estimate the share of directory requests that any one of
 our directory mirrors sees, we need a good estimate for the Tor major
 versions run by clients. 0.2.0.x, 0.2.1.x, and 0.2.2.x all have different
 weights for picking directory mirrors.

 One approach (and maybe the only one) is to assume that clients have the
 same major version distribution as relays and just use the relay numbers.
 Are there alternatives?
