I thinking the sticking point is documentation.
From what repository do I get the obfs3 code? How do I build obfs3? How do I specify its use in my Tor config file (i.e. config syntax)?
If obfs3 use is so important, then why is there so little documentation for it on Tor's website?
There will be a time when obfs4 or something else that isn't even defined or on the horizon yet will become important. Especially with Internet censorship, things like that can change quickly. The obfs2 blocking of China only happened recently.
obfs3 needed to be designed, specified, implemented, tested, and is now in the latest obfsproxy release available on Debian testing (and looks like it is now also available from deb.torproject.org, but I'm not certain about that).
Documentation is linked from the main Obfsproxy website, https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en ("Installation Instructions"). If you have suggestions on what to improve on the website, in general or about obfsproxy, file a ticket. In the end, this is a community effort!
