 Why is 500 the magic number for max bridges we have ever seen?

 https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html?graph=networksize&start=2009-01-01&end=2010-10-12#networksize

 Is there some bug that is preventing us from getting more relays? Or is
 this just a reporting issue?

 We could try to ask people to run 100 bridges on the mechanical turk to
 see if it changes:

 Verification of the job would be to provide a working, usable bridge line.
