Well, that's one place I didn't think to look for leaking bridge
fingerprints. At this point there is no way to retrieve a bridge's IP
address and port number using its fingerprint, right? And, considering the
default torrc does say: "However, you should never include a bridge's
fingerprint here, as it would break its concealability and potentionally
reveal its IP/TCP address." I really don't know how else to prevent
this. Onionoo could do extra processing to prevent leaking these
bridges, but I'm not sure that's a good way to do it.

On another note, globe looks awesome! Thanks you!
