We'll have to act before that. We're currently looking for<br>
a new operator for the bridge authority and a suitable hosting<br>
location, which we will want to include in Tor releases asap.<br>
For a while we will feed the data from the two concurrently<br>
running bridge authorities to the bridge database for<br>
distribution to users, then when Tonga (Lucky's auth) is shut<br>
down the new one will have taken over. We will lose the data<br>
about all bridges that aren't updated after the time Tonga is<br>
shut off. This means fewer bridges for bridge db to give out and<br>
potentially a drop in counted (not necessarily actual) bridge<br>
users of Tor.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
