Yes, it's a good idea. For our experiment so far, we weren't really
interested in protocols that could be dynamically active-probed; we
included some of the the fte and obfs3 bridges just as known-blocked
controls. But of course for other purposes you'll want to have the full
list.

Apart from the missing fte and obfs3 bridges, the list Arturo has is a
superset of bridge_prefs.js. In addition to the currently used
addresses, it has some that were used in the past, or are waiting to be
used in the future.
