Comment (by kpdyer):

 Users who use a previous stable version should (hopefully) not experience
 any problems. The TBB should just skip over that bridge and use the 2nd,
 3rd, etc. bridge on the list. So, hopefully it shouldn't be a problem
 unless a user manually enters only this bridge with the old fingerprint.

 The real failure here is that I forgot the bridge's keys, and the bridge
 had a complete failure. That would have averted this whole problem. Now,
 I've backed up the keys for all the bridges I run.

 Is that reasonable? I guess we could spin up the bridge on a new IP such
 that there isn't the fingerprint changed message. Would that be more user
 friendly?
