 We should defend against Website Traffic Fingerprinting. I hear it's like
 a serious attack that is super dangerous because of its "devastating
 accuracy" of around 80% in closed-world research scenarios. I also hear
 that IDS/IPS systems are the new new hotness, and soon we'll all be
 defended by 99.9% accurate IPS firewalls that will keep us safe from
 hackers forever. Look everybody, the 1990s are back in style again. Let's
 all move to Portland and retire.

 But hey, there's no reason why we shouldn't work to improve the situation.
 Turns out there's a few bonus reasons to work on this problem... Who knew?

 See child tickets for possible approaches, as well as things we've already
 tried.
