 I found this message in CollecTor's logs today:

 {{{

 We need to decide whether it's okay to keep these lines in sanitized
 bridge descriptors, and if not, how to sanitize them.  I believe it's okay
 to keep them, but I'd like to get confirmation on that.

 Note that we should make this decision soon, because we're currently not
 sanitizing descriptors containing these lines.  That means those bridges
 cannot be found in Atlas and won't be included in any statistics.
