 writing to bridges at torproject.org) and directly in Tor Browser (the system
 is called moat).

 Ah, yep. It might also be a good idea to test any finer-grained sort of
 distribution we're doing (e.g., I think we're partitioning bridges and
 handing out some only to email addresses from certain providers). But this
 step can be even further down the road.
