Hi all,

I've had an EC2 bridge up for 2 weeks, and it seems to have gotten no usage.Â I'm considering converting it into a middle relay instead, but before I do so, I'm just wondering:

Is there value in having a marginal unused bridge "in reserve"?
Is this value greater than that of an active middle relay?

Thanks!

-Elliott
