Comment:

 So, let's always track the md fail restriction, but stop applying it when
 the number of reachable filtered guards is below some threshold?
 This will probably mean extracting the const counting part out of
 num_reachable_fultered_guards().

 Otherwise, we might end up blocking someone's only working bridge, and
 that would be worse than the original bug.
