Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 sysrqb]:
 > hrm, ok. I know there's a comment in the bridge selection code that says
 it does this, but it seems like it's misplaced. But I do think I remember
 seeing a check for this somewhere else, though. I have a feeling, in any
 case, we're going to want to come back to this as we get further into
 #7520.

 That comment is
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/Bridges.py#l1042
 on this line], FWIW.

 And yes, the comment is misplaced. The line directly underneath it just
 takes all the bridges in the splitter. I'm not sure if implementing this
 is still a good idea, given that we have volunteer bridge operators
 running bridges very close to each other, esp. for PTs, and implementing
 this would likely severely decrease the bridges available to a user.
