Comment (by atagar):

 > Derp. Misremembered. I think I had a dream once where arm showed me all
 kinds of magical statistics about bridges, perhaps some of that interface
 accidentally melded.

 Maybe it will in the future. I plan on returning to arm development soon
 so feature requests welcome. :)

 > Still, I'm not sure what tor does if two ORs claim to have the same
 address with different keys. Or what the DirAuths do.

 Good question. Same address is fine, but duplicate address/orport
 combination of course would be problematic. My hunch is that they'd reject
 the descriptors for the newcomer until the old relay disappeared but
 haven't checked the code.
