I've expressed interest in the past about running default obfs4 bridges and am still willing to do so.
I'd like to hold off actually setting them up till its close to the time that Tor Browser will integrate them. I hear it's better for the default bridges to not advertise and I'd rather they didn't sit paid for but idle for too long.
You can find me on IRC as pastly.
Matt says he can get some new bridges running quickly--say, in time for the next release of Tor Browser.
Since Matt also runs exit relays [1], would it make sense to add a logic to torbrowser that *IFF* the user choose to use default bridges these exits get excluded in that torbrowser's tor instance?
That would also be a possible workaround for isis's ticket about noisebridge bridges? [2]

NoiseTor would like to run high-capacity default bridges for Tor Browser, but they are nervous about simultaneously running exits without being able to direct people not to use both.
