Comment (by karsten):

 Thank you, shamrock, for postponing the Tonga shutdown by two days!
 Here's a [https://people.torproject.org/~karsten/volatile/running-
 bridges-2016-08-29.png graph] showing how bridges are transitioning from
 Tonga to Bifroest.  That graph doesn't show recent numbers from Bifroest,
 because we're not done setting up scripts to copy descriptors to
 CollecTor.  But we can assume that >1k bridges have switched over by now.
 Those extra two days will for sure help with getting more bridges from
 Tonga to Bifroest before Tonga disappears.  Thanks!
