Your bridge will become less useful for censorship circumvention because
its IP address (as an exit) will get published in the public directory
of Tor nodes and so automatically added to blacklists of Tor-related
addresses.  The censorship-circumvention benefit of bridges, ideally,
comes in because censors don't know that their traffic is related to Tor.
