Comment(by arma):

 Note that these days, this ticket isn't really about adapting to
 censorship.

 It was an idea from a time where the arms race was "change IP addresses
 quicker than the adversary can enumerate them". The arms race these days
 is "do some trick to be able to recognize bridges when they're used". This
 new arms race scales a lot better, and would result in this subscription
 approach basically sending you a mail saying "oops, no bridges left for
 you".

 That doesn't make it totally pointless though -- it is still useful to
 send an automated follow-up when your current bridge addresses churn away
 naturally.
