It's possible that the new websocket users are using one of these other bridges. It's also possible, since the bridges run more than one transport, that the users are actually using some other transport, and they are mistakenly being counted for websocket:

A lot of them have last_restarted of 2015-03-14 or 2014-03-25, which fall roughly where the user increase is on the metrics graphs. Maybe they were recently rebooted with support for the websocket transport.
I guess this is what's happening. I made a graph with websocket, fte, obfs4, and scramblesuit, and it looks like there is a correlated increase in scramblesuit at the same time as the increase in websocket. Probably some new scramblesuit bridges started being used, and some of their users are being counted for websocket.
