 I would have to do some testing and look deeper in the code* to say
 anything with reassurance, but I think the assmume_reachable=1 stuff in my
 patch was necessary when switching from a bridge X to a distinct bridge Y.
 Without assuming reachability for Y it would take ages before its
 descriptor was fetched and Y is usable. Surely there's a better solution?
 Or perhaps it's already fixed with #3198?

 *I'm very sorry, but I'm currently drowning in university work + writing a
 Tails related grant proposal, so I will not be available for anything more
 than the occasional comment drawing from what I remember on top of my head
 for the coming week. I should be back at around the 7th of June if any
 input is still wanted at that point.

 > It seems like a poor idea. Better would be to figure out why we're
 marking a bridge down when it isn't actually down.
 I agree, that sounds better.
