 Replying to [comment:6 atagar]:
 > When it changes do you re-publish old bridge descriptors with the new
 scheme or are there a variety of scrubbing schemes floating around? My
 parser will need to change when scrubbing changes are invalid according to
 the dir-spec. For instance if we drop a mandatory field (like we did for
 onion-key and such) then we'll need to update...

 Whenever there are changes to the scrubbing scheme, I'm updating all
 files.  That's one of the reasons why there are at most 1 to 2 changes per
 year.  It takes about week to process all descriptors again.  But having
 more than one scheme around would be too confusing.

 > If there's descriptors around with the old address then I have an issue
 since my parser relies on the first line having a 'router Unnamed 10.'
 prefix to figure out if it's a bridge descriptor or not. Oh well, that's
 what this ticket will be solving. :)

 There are only descriptors with "router Unnamed 10." around.
