Comment(by mikeperry):

 mcs: Yeah, I think we should make Tor Launcher accept a direct cut and
 paste from bridges.tp.o and send it to Tor. See #9445. I think the only
 santization we should do there is to check for 'bridge ' in the beginning
 of the line, and if it's there, send it directly, and if it's not, add it
 in.

 Unless someone more deeply familiar with the full scope of what PT strings
 contain can say why this is a bad idea?
