This turned out to be + problematic for two reasons: Bridges could claim to handle a lot more + traffic then they actually would, thus making more clients pick them and + have a pretty effective DoS attack. The other issue is that new bridges + that might not have a good estimate for their bw capacity yet would not + get used at all unless no other bridges are available to a client. + This fixes bug 1912; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
