Hi devs,

if you're not using CollecTor's sanitized bridge descriptors for
anything, you can safely ignore this message.

As you may know, there are currently two bridge directory authorities
in the Tor network, Tonga and Bifroest, and Tonga will go away some
time this weekend.

You can fetch sanitized versions of Tonga's bridge descriptors here:

https://collector.torproject.org/recent/bridge-descriptors/

We're also now ready to provide sanitized versions of Bifroest's
bridge descriptors.  The only differences to Tonga's descriptors are:

 - Statuses will have Bifroest's fingerprint in their file name rather
than Tonga's.  Example:

https://people.torproject.org/~karsten/volatile/20160829-164232-1D8F3A91C37C5D1C4C19B1AD1D0CFBE8BF72D8E1


 - There will be two "concurrent" statuses published by Tonga and
Bifroest this week, containing two distinct sets of bridges.

I'm holding back Bifroest's descriptors from CollecTor for another 48
hours or so to give you time to prepare for this change.  After all,
you might have written your code under the assumption that there's
just a single bridge authority, and the above change might confuse
your code and break it.  Everything will be on CollecTor in 48 hours
from now.

All the best,
Karsten
