Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 asn]:
 > Adding another bootstrap phase for fetching bridge descriptors seems
 like a reasonable idea to me. Probably not hard to implement either.

 I'd second that. I think arma's 18% option wouldn't be so difficult, and
 arma is correct that failing to fetch the consensus vs. failing to fetch
 bridge descriptors are two different bootstrapping problems.
