I had that same thought a few days ago. Thank you for the note. That's just 
the kind of feedback I wanted.

If you look at the atlas list, you'll see that about 1 out of four are 
bridges. At startup, it generates keys, and then uses the fingerprint to 
decide whether to volunteer to be a bridge relay for the rest of its life.

Built in are the obfs4 plugins, and also the firewall helper, and nyx/arm.  
Your "more!" intrigues me, though. Private mail?
