The other half of that answer to an FAQ is, for those who dont have that
sort of bandwidth to share, it is still worthwhile to run a bridge.
Bridges are supposed to be lesser known and have lower consequences to
the network if one of them is exposed, but can be life-saving to Tor
users who need one.
