 Apparently the changed semantics for UseBridges in Tor 0.2.2.28-beta
 caused some problems for Vidalia.  The default "UseBridges auto" threw
 some people into bridge mode who didn't expect to be in bridge mode, and
 the new behavior of "UseBridges 1" with no bridges set made people's tors
 stop working without a clear explanation of why.  See bug #3354 for full
 details.

 Counterproposals to reverting seem too complex to me.  I've got a branch
 "bug 2355_revert" in my public repository to do the revert.  I suggest
 applying it to 0.2.2.x and 0.2.3.x.  Comments?
