There are at least three approaches for giving out non-blocked bridges to
users: a) exclude blocked bridges from results, b) replace blocked bridges
with non-blocked once, or c) include blocked bridges in results and write
"maybe blocked" next to them. We're currently doing a), but we should do
c) to improve usability. There are variants of b), e.g., b1) Christian
suggests to give out exactly one non-blocked bridge if otherwise we’d give
out zero bridges and b2) Roger suggests to give out the first three non-
blocked bridges in a fixed set of five bridges. One part of sponsor F
deliverable 17 should be to discuss these alternatives and agree on one of
them that shall be implemented.
