Comment (by arma):
Because of "Second", I am unexcited about putting the bridge authority
under the nose of any intelligence agency. Wherever we put it, it's a gift
to whoever's network it's on. So in that sense the *network* location is
at least as important as the security of the system itself. If somebody
can point us at a network location where no adversaries can watch, let us
know. :) Otherwise, it's about choosing which adversary to stick it next
to, and that is a crummy choice to have to make.
Because of "First", I think putting it nearby (in terms of trust) to
bridgedb or the metrics archiver makes a lot of sense.
Sebastian makes a good point above that "location stability" is a key
requirement for the bridge authority.
