 still be perfectly fine to merge it to master and use it for all (alpha,
 beta...) releases containing a tor 0.2.5.x, right?

 Yes, that's right. I built a test release off of master with this patch
 and it worked fine.

 In fact building maint-3.6 with anything newer than
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/meek.git/shortlog/refs/tags/0.7 meek 0.7] (current is
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/meek.git/shortlog/refs/tags/0.10 0.10]) will fail, because of
 the paths that changed in #11641. I made a special
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/meek.git/shortlog/refs/heads/maint-3.6 maint-3.6] branch of
 meek with new code but old paths, in order to build the
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/dcf/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/shortlog/refs/tags/tbb-3.6.3-meek-2 3.6.3-meek-2] bundle
 [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-August/007290.html
 announced here], but I hope we won't have to use a special branch much
 longer.

 (Incidentally, the reason meek has to know TBB paths is #12716, but I
 haven't found a nice solution to that yet.)
