Since meek works differently than obfs3, for example, it doesn't help us to have hundreds of medium-fast bridges. We need one (or maybe two or three) big fat fast relays, because all the traffic that is bounced through App Engine or Amazon will be pointed at it.

A horrible idea Isis and I came up with was standing up two or more tor servers with the same keys, on an anycast-ed IP address. I'm not sure how the meek backend works, but if it's not set up already to support round-robining, you would likely be able to trick it into doing some by duplicating keys and doing DNS round-robining or other networking-layer tricks.
