 The social distributor should support a configurable allocator strategy
 that will assign bridges to an account by implementing a policy that may
 take into consideration datapoints such as:

 1. age of the account
 2. history of bridges allocated to this account
 3. filtering of bridges assigned to this account
 4. frequency of requests for bridges

 For example, an allocator strategy might be as simple as "give no more
 bridges to a user whose bridge was blocked"
 Alternately, "give fewer bridges to accounts correlated with more blocking
 events than 1 standard deviation above the average"

 A good idea might be to evaluate multiple simple strategies simultaneously
 and see which strategies are more effective.
