This comment was about unrestricted entry guard settings, not bridges.

directory mirror, why is that not sufficient? Or maybe all of the (non-
guard) working bridges fail to be directory mirrors?
All bridges are directory mirrors.
But there will always be a tradeoff when all our primary guards aren't
working between:
* fail (and be more secure), and
* try another guard/bridge/fallback/directory authority (and be more
usable).
Looks like we set the bar too low. Or there is another bug.
