Hi,

as many of you know AS level data (AS number and name) on Relay Search/onionoo 
is
using a rather outdated geoip database from maxmind. That is the reason why 
Relay Search
displays inaccurate or no AS information for many relays.

Recently the geoip database used by tor (not Relay Search) switched [1] from 
maxmind's db to ipfire [2] for license reasons.
Since tor only needs the country level information in only ships country level 
informat (but ipfire's geoip also contains AS level data).

Today I read about the idea to remove AS level data from onionoo/Relay Search 
on the gitlab issue:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/metrics/relay-search/-/issues/40004#note_2730948

If you also have an opinion on whether Relay Search should improve its AS level 
information instead of removing it completely
now is probably a good time to state it - especially if your tools depend on it.


kind regards,
nusenu
