Bridges running 0.3.4.x before 0.3.4.10 suffer from #28912, where you
basically can't bootstrap from them unless they have other people fetching
directory information from them at the same time as you try. Same with
0.3.5.x before 0.3.5.7 I think.
Now that 0.3.4.10 is out, and 0.3.5.7 are out, hopefully bridges will
upgrade. But for the ones that don't, we might be wise in bridgedb to
decline to give them out.
I wonder what fraction of bridges this affects currently? I cc irl and
karsten to find out.
