Please let me know what the Tor Metrics Team decides, if/when they reimplement the change.

I agree. I'd rather manage unique nicknames.

Thanks, again.

When I made my own combined graphs, I relied on different instances
having different nicknames. I don't know an easy way to distinguish the
descriptors of different instances otherwise.

You could conceivably do it by analyzing the periodicity of different
instances' publishing schedules. (Start one instance on the hour,
another at :10, another at :20, etc.) But that seems fragile, not to
mention annoying to deal with.
