Comment:

 Options:

 A) Teach the Tor directory stuff that if a descriptor it wants is a
 configured bridge, it doesn't want the general-purpose descriptor.

 B) If you get a general-purpose descriptor for a relay which is currently
 one of your bridges, for god's sake don't accept it.

 C) ?

 We clearly need to do A. It's not clear that doing B as
 belt-and-suspenders helps -- if we do A correctly, then we don't
 need B, and if we do B but don't do A correctly, we end up doing the
 fetch-and-discard-repeat dance.
