That's what I meant. Actually, I didn't suggest to publish the success
rate, but rather the numerator and denominator of the rate.
If we want to have some opinion about the rest of the network, maybe each
relay could publish the success numbers of create cells it passed along to
others, too? So, each relay would be publishing four numbers in its extra-
info desc.

That's usually the case.
