 > I guess there is a tension with #5018--ideally we want the `flashproxy-
 client` transport plugin to start without having to configure any false
 bridges. We currently use the "fake" address 0.0.1.0:1, but it's not for
 the sake of getting the transport to start up--it's because we don't know
 any real bridge addresses at startup time.

 Good point -- we'll need:
   * A flag to apply to a client plugin to tell Tor to launch the plugin
 whether any current bridges want it or not.
