 We should try to detect broken bridges we ship in Tor Browser early to
 minimize users trying them and to avoid overloading the remaining ones
 considerably/over a long period of time.

 Not sure what "regularly" should mean in this context but I guess just
 testing them during our normal QA might not be enough as they code be
 down/unreachable temporarily.

 We might set up something different maybe even with a system that sends an
 email to the bridge operator (Cc'ing tor-assistants) after the bridge is
 repeatedly not usable.
