Comment (by nickm):

 > (This might be problematic because it allows fetch_bridge_descriptors()
 to fetch directly from the bridge authority. Does this matter?)

 IMO yes.  If we need another complexifying argument or flag in
 purpose_needs_anonymity() to tell the "fetch from source" case from "fetch
 from bridge authority, that's better than running into trouble down the
 road if fetch_bridge_descriptors() does something foolish.
