New description:

 We need to provide people with TBBs that can be safely launched in
 censored countries like Syria, Iran, and China.

 The situation right now is that people will try to run our default
 bundles, get blocked, and then try to configure a bridge. This currently
 mandatory intermediate blocking step exposes users to potential arrest and
 harassment, especially if they appear to get encrypted communications
 working later.

 This requires some work in the Tor client and Vidalia. The child tickets
 are listed here.
