Runa, could you speak to the expectations of the bridge strategy regarding
the stability and lifespan of nodes? More specifically, to ensure a healthy
and stable network, how long should a volunteer attempt to maintain a
bridge (days, weeks or months)?

In the case of Amazon Web Services, there is the additional option of being
able to cycle address quickly -- this is helpful against blocking but
creates frustration with end-users unaffected by country-specific action.
Should a user maintain the bridge as long as there is traffic, for the good
of the network, or is changing addresses in response to external events
reasonable.

While Fabio's suggestion is novel, I suspect any volunteer using an shared
host would quickly find themselves facing the wrath of administrators.
Given the number of well-meaning, but unprepared people, I would be
cautious as it would potentially introduce a large number of unstable
bridges.

Cordially,
Collin
