Comment(by nickm):

 rransom above correctly identified the long-term solution for A; this
 isn't it.

 The question I want to answer *now* is whether this patch -- the one we
 have merged now -- is a good idea *now* or whether we should revert it.

 It makes one thing better: it makes it harder to identify bridges before
 they see use.

 It makes one thing worse: it makes the circuits that originate at a bridge
 distinguishable from circuits that don't.

 Is this tradeoff a win?
