Comment (by karsten):
Hmm. Interesting idea. Some thoughts/questions:
- What would the `"effective_family"` field contain if a relay is not in
an effective family with any other relay?
- The suggestion is to include the relay itself to `"effective_family"`
only, and not to `"alleged_family"` or `"indirect_family"`, right?
I'm open to this idea, especially if it makes processing easier for
Onionoo clients. It's a bit redundant to include the same fingerprint
twice in a document, but we made similar decisions in the past where some
redundancy is acceptable if that makes it easier to process results.
I'll look closer at the branch as soon as we have made a decision here.
