 Replying to [comment:9 nickm]:
 > Okay, but what will actually happen if a new client (with this patch)
 tries to run with an 0.2.2.x bridge?  That will break, right?

 > If so, are we okay with that breaking?

 Yes, but we should log a warning to the client saying the bridge is too

 (We should reject the bridge's descriptor in 0.2.9 anyway, as it doesn't
 have an ntor key.)
