 From [wiki:org/sponsors/SponsorF/Year2]: "15. bridgedb: Annotate and sort
 the social-network bridge pools by stability and, once we have it,
 reachability. Right now we send a daily list of 50--100 bridges out, and
 half or more of the bridges are down the next day. We should track which
 bridges are up day after day and make them clearer in the list."

 From talking to Aaron in December:

  1. I think that my [https://metrics.torproject.org/papers/bridge-
 stability-2011-10-31.pdf tech report on bridge stability] may be useful
 for the "stability" part of this deliverable.  We'll want to include some
 bridge stability information in the bridge lists and maybe rank bridges by
 their stability value. (#3223)

  2. The "reachability" part could be the same blocking information that we
 use for deliverable 17.  We can probably just copy this information from
 the given file to the bridge lists. (#3224)

 Can we agree on some schedule when these substeps and the overall
 deliverable are expected to be done?

 Optimistically assigning to the July milestone.
