 > I had a brief look on your bug2511 branch but I have never looked into
 that part of the Tor sources (the precise logic of what routerlist
 effects) so I cannot say anything with reassurance without a deeper look
 (which I am afraid I won't have time for today). But if your fix
 guarantees that at any point when Tor must use only bridges (i.e.
 UseBridges set to 1, or [UseBridges set to auto and some bridges are
 configured]), only configured bridges will be picked as entries, then it
 should be ok -- after all, that's the only thing my patch does, although
 more explicitly.

 I now believe there is a bug remaining. I just opened #3321 with more
 details.
