All of this seems to me like we need to sit down somewhere (in meatspace or online), map out how the current system of: * Clients * Bridges * Bridge Guards * The Bridge Authority fits together, and figure out how it can be redesigned in a way that is more inline with how things work now/need to work now (PTs were not a thing when this started being one of the bigger stumbling blocks).
