Comment(by asn):

 Replying to [comment:3 arma]:
 > The mirror image of this idea is for bridges.tp.o to annotate really-
 new-transport-types with a note about how you'll need version such-and-
 such of the circumvention bundle to use this bridge.

 Aha. Both of these ideas are compatible, and can probably be implemented
 with the same BridgeDB config (which will include stuff like bundle names,
 versions, release dates and supported transports). I'm not sure which
 approach is better, and I can imagine use cases that can benefit from both
 approaches.

 Also, the new BridgeDB interface should contain links to all the
 obfsbundles (especially for really-new-transport-types), links to
 pluggable transport documentation, pointers to `help at rt.torproject.org`,
 etc. Sounds like a non-trivial project but very worth doing.
