Comment(by nickm):
rransom above correctly identified the long-term solution for A; this
isn't it.
The question I want to answer *now* is whether this patch -- the one we
have merged now -- is a good idea *now* or whether we should revert it.
It makes one thing better: it makes it harder to identify bridges before
they see use.
It makes one thing worse: it makes the circuits that originate at a bridge
distinguishable from circuits that don't.
Is this tradeoff a win?
