Comment (by leeroy):
> Well, do we need another field like `"ineffective_family"`, if we keep
both `"family"` and `"effective_family"`? In theory, if those two arrays
don't have the same length, there's something wrong, and every entry
that's missing in `"effective_family"` is something for the relay
operator to look into; unless I missed a case. I'd rather not want to
add redundant data but rely on Onionoo clients to be smart enough to
display information in a way that's useful to users. Onionoo is not
meant to be used by humans. What do you think?
What about operators with really big families? Suppose effective_family is
only defined if there is a difference. How are they supposed to make use
of declared family being length n, and effective family being length n-1?
That is by definition redundant. So maybe it would be better to just have
the one key, and only update the family key behavior. An operator would
then need only to check the length against the expected value which they
should know from torrc.
