bidirectional. Otherwise you could set up a bridge and request that
anybody who uses your bridge should never use the following (innocent,
unrelated, target) relays in their circuit, and really mess with path
selection.
Yes, and there are also other ways to mess with someone's path selection
if you're their guard/bridge. Not that that means we should make it easier
for them to do so, but I feel like a malicious bridge is going to behave
maliciously no matter what we do with the MyFamily setting.

I'm not sure if "Wait for us to do something with a vague, two-years-old
ticket" is the best response to "We have way more money than we thought
