Would it be possible to include censorship numbers in this dashboard? I would be particularly interested to know how many transactions would have made it into a block on profitability alone but were rejected due to blacklist considerations. This seems like a key transparency metric for validators considering which relays to use.
I understand this number may be hard to determine depending on the internal order of operations.
If blacklisted transactions are filtered out as a first step prior to block packing, it may be unclear whether they were going to make it into the block just based on profitability or not. In this case, I would recommend giving the total number of blacklisted transactions with sufficient basefee for each block, and also maybe the number of those transactions that would have had a higher profitability than the lowest-profit transactions that did make it into the block.
If block packing is iterative, and blacklisted transactions are filtered out after a first packing pass and replaced with other transactions in a later pass, then the raw number of transactions included in an initial pass at the block but were subsequently filtered because of the blacklist would be the ideal metric.
