Very nice. It seems like the dark (tangent-like) line running through the middle of the uptimes (not the conspicuous vertical stripe you describe) is just a consequence of the sorting.
Are the vertical white lines periods where a consensus wasn’t reached? All the dust (to right at the top, left at the bottom) is kind of interesting.
