Comment(by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:1 phobos]:
 > 1. Tor QA/Build will have to sign the packages. Right now it's just
 alexandre, which few of us know.

 I signed the packages too. For some reason GPG only checks the first
 signature, but there are two signatures in each of the `.asc` files. I
 signed Alexandre's packages after diffing them with my independently built
 packages.

 > 3. The current list of obfsproxy bridges will need to be larger,
 otherwise we're going to point millions of people at 12 bridges. Maybe
 instead, we don't actually ship with configured bridges, but leave the
 possibility that it's there.

 The way I see this working out in the long term is,
  1. We make a separate PT bundle, having all known deployed and reasonable
 transports enabled by default. (Check, #7824.)
  1. We add new transports to the separate PT bundle as they become
 deployed and reasonable.
  1. We extend Vidalia in the PT bundle to allow selectively enabling and
 disabling each of the supported transports (think a panel of checkboxes).
  1. The PT bundle changes get folded back into the mainline TBB. The
 separate PT bundle doesn't exist anymore. The mainline TBB contains all
 known deployed and reasonable transports, disabled by default. Vidalia is
 able to enable each of them individually.
