I notice that the "first seen" info on my obfs4 bridge status page on tor atlas / metrics all of a sudden is incorrect, by years. Not sure if it's something that introduced itself with latest update or what. The various graphs on traffic and users are still correct through. A tor

Hi I'm running an obfs4 bridge and upgraded to latest version. Use Debian Jessie (8.9). One thing that puzzles me is the log /var/log/tor/log I used to always see some useful info there, like number of connecting clients during the last 6 hours etc. I have an entry: [notice] Clean shutdown
