Actually it would contain the entire rate configuration.

Anyway my concern is that you're adding something that's rather minstrel
specific. It's not really usable by any other algorithm, you're
reporting minstrel's estimation of the throughput. If you report the
current "best" rate, that'll probably get you pretty much the same
behaviour overall, but be more portable to other algorithms I think.
