Comment(by nickm):

 > This should be a simple matter of turning on the ‘perform directory
 request anonymously’ flag when starting a directory-fetch operation from
 the bridge authority

 So, if we set that flag, and we can't get any circuits because we don't
 have any bridge descriptors yet, would we fall back to asking the bridges
 for their own descriptors, or would we just break?
