 You are right, I missed that.

 After giving this some more thought, I decided to move forward with a
 tradeoff. I agree with thymbahutymba that the bridge information should be
 stored in a file; otherwise operators will have to dig up their ports each
 time they're upgrading the image. Our
 [https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/docker/ improved
 instructions] now suggest to write your bridge configuration to a separate
 file, which is sourced before invoking the Makefile. This makes it
 possible to run multiple bridges (by having several bridge config files)
 while at the same time making it easy to upgrade to new image versions.
 Also note that running multiple bridges per machine is an edge case that
 we don't encourage.
