Hi,

i did noticed that Tor sometime take a lot of time to make a bootstrap,
especially when using private bridge.

Wouldn't make sense to ship Tor client with latest available consensus
and directory information already built-in?

A part from the implementation complexity (on-the-fly packaging of Tor
Bundles with updated-information):

- Is this something that would speedup Tor client Bootstrap?
- Are there security implications in doing so?
