 * keywords:   => easy


Comment:

 I believe we can accomplish this goal by doing a
 {{{
 smartlist_shuffle(bridge_list);
 }}}
 right after where we call {{{sweep_bridge_list()}}} in config.c.

 The clean way to do it is probably to make a new function
 {{{shuffle_bridge_list()}}} that we call from that same place in config.c,
 with a comment about why we're doing it, and then that new function lives
 in entrynodes.c right under the {{{sweep_bridge_list()}}} function.

 I am tagging as keyword easy because it now just remains to write the code
 that way and write up a changelog entry. :)
