 I believe tor-launcher (which is a first time connection method wizard)
 (#6009) could solve that, by having some clever worded options for use
 cases like "connect to the public Tor network", "try the default bridges",
 "get semi-public bridges", "use private bridges", "configure for
 censorship circumvention", "configure for Tor traffic obfuscation".
