 bridgedb uses bulkexitlist to recognize when a user is coming from a Tor
 exit, so it's harder to enumerate the address-based pool just by coming
 through Tor.

 But we have varied over the past year which list we use, since the main
 bulkexitlist was flaky.

 When I was last the maintainer for bridgedb, I had a cron running on
 moria1 to generate an exitlist, and I had bridgedb fetch it via wget
 periodically. Are we still doing that, or did we move to something else?
 Now that the new check seems more stable, we should consider moving back
 to the main source.
