 #diff-f5e72cabd3c2e29288c80ecdbfc51cabL185 here], it makes more sense to
 modify the query to return only what we need:

 Good catch! I fixed it
 [https://github.com/NullHypothesis/bridgedb/commit/164552a070c59c6a00066fe618aee12f3bf3df59
 here].

 [https://github.com/NullHypothesis/bridgedb/compare/develop...defect/33631?expand=1
 #diff-db025301d124ca0c9fe5cfeea36077c8R626 here] seems a bit unwieldy to
 me. I noticed another, similar function of the code
 [https://github.com/NullHypothesis/bridgedb/blob/21cf51c227d8e53ca70ff7e4831e8b770d6eeb9a/bridgedb/Bridges.py#L658
 here] that does the following:
 > {{{

 >             index += 1

 Perhaps we could refactor this logic into its own function that takes a
 bridge and returns its index in `self.bridges`. Would making
 `self.bridges` a map help?
 [[br]]
 That's a good observation, also
 [https://github.com/NullHypothesis/bridgedb/commit/94b3e63188c9b2b5136700347c0db20ee48c1586
 fixed].
 [[br]]
 > - Do the tests also check that bridges were removed from all subrings?
 Can we do that easily?
 [[br]]
 Actually, no. Fixed
 [https://github.com/NullHypothesis/bridgedb/commit/ef71bf152cb7d1b45e1048f37af6b0d2ce1e6eca
 here].
