 Yes, they are.

 BridgeDB for what Karsten wants to accomplish -- if I understood
 correctly. I think he could just call `TorBridgeDB --dump-bridges' and
 read bridge pool assignments from those files. Of course a script needs to
 run over those and sanitize them. But that's another discussion maybe.

 just write the file buckets to disk?  I want the assignments of bridges to
 the https/email distributors as well as the unallocated bridges.  Also, I
 want the assignment file to be updated whenever BridgeDB loads new network
 statuses and descriptors and refreshes its internal state.

 It writes all pool assignments to file. After running it, you have, for
 instance: (actual numbers changed)

 $ wc -l *.brdgs
  9000 email-2011-02-13.brdgs
  9000 https-2011-02-13.brdgs
   400 twitter-2011-02-13.brdgs
  1000 unallocated-2011-02-13.brdgs

 Each *.brdgs file contains ip:port pairs. You decide if that is what you
 need.
