This proposal describes how Tor clients could determine when they
have sufficient bandwidth capacity and are sufficiently reliable to
become either bridges are Tor servers. When they meet this
become either bridges or Tor relays. When they meet this
criteria, they will automatically promote themselves, based on user
preferences. The proposal also defines the new controller messages
and options which will control this process.

Note that this model does not support demotion. If this is
desirable, there should be some memory as to whether the previous
state was server, bridge, or auto-bridge. Otherwise the user may be
prompted to become a server, although he has opted to only be a
