Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:20 arma]:
 > I don't think the bridge authority is any different from any other dir
 cache, with respect to publishing the consensus.

 I think by that logic, we should change
 {{{
    /* Special case for authorities (directory and bridge). */
    if (authdir_mode(get_options())) {
 }}}
 to
 {{{
    /* Special case for v3 directory authorities. */
    if (authdir_mode_v3(get_options())) {
 }}}

 That is, the bridge authority should feel free to send 503's in response
 to directory fetches, just like any other relay.
