--------------------------------+------------------------------
 I have got a bunch of these warnings recently since my bridge had a full
 reinstallation.

 {{{
 entry_guard_learned_bridge_identity(): Bug: We 'learned' an identity
 [redacted] for a bridge at [redacted], but we already knew a different one
 ([redacted]). Ignoring the new info as possibly bogus. (on Tor
 0.4.0.1-alpha 81f1b89efc94723f)
 }}}

 But it is not actually ignored: Tor bootstraps as usual, builds circuits
 using its new descriptor and writes circuit building state under its new
 identity. This could create an MiTM possibility, or maybe we need to
 elaborate a bit more on this.
