Comment:

 Just to make sure I'm interpreting this correctly:

 We currently have a hashring for each distributor, then an extra pseudo-
 hashring for buckets. Each hashring is subdivided into subhashrings
 according to filters (which would include filters for PT type, IPv4/6,
 etc.), and/or the client's IP address /24, and/or other parameters. These
 subhashrings are cached (or at least some number N of them are).

 If you get a bridge's fingerprint, you get the bridge's `@type bridge-
 server-descriptor`. Even though my local tor client is configured to
 download extra-info descriptors, I've never been able to get the control
 port to spit out an `@type bridge-extrainfo-document` with `GETINFO extra-
 info/digest/*` and the extra-info digest from the `@type bridge-server-
 descriptor`. '''tl;dr''': Given one PT `type IP:port`, I don't ''think''
 you can get the other PT `types IP:port`s; however, given the fingerprint
 you can get the main `ORPort` of the bridge.

 We can't really keep that separate without making changes to little-t tor,
 and probably redesigning large portions of how the `ExtORPort` functions.
 I'm not really sure what to do for this ticket, unless I'm
 misunderstanding something.
