Comment (by pastly):
This is interesting to me. I'm going to see if I have time to test
hdevalence's branch and write tests.

This way, we can preserve the currently expected behaviour without
surprising users. We can revert my patch in #18113 and just flip the
config variable on for TB users, and, likewise, non-TB users who really
want this can opt-in to enabling it.

How much do we care about people who use non-default torrcs for the TBB?
The only concern I want to raise is that if enough people remove the
ShuffleBridges option and #18113 is reverted, then there could be unfair
load on the first few bridges again.
