Comment (by CristianCantoro):

 To be fair, this setting would still be useful. In my case (1) I am
 running a couple of middle relays and I would like to run a bridge, so in
 principle it could happen that a circuit goes through my bridge and the
 through one of my middle relays. Also in the same thread (1), I have been
 advised that I should not run an exit node if I am also running a bridge.
 Again, this is a case where setting MyFamily would be useful.

 It would make sense if the bridge indicates all family members but the
 other non-bridge nodes do not contain the bridge fingerprint?
