 > Also, is it okay with you that we'll get these warnings when only *some*
 of the bridges have a missing PT?

 I just tested that scenario.  What currently happens is that Tor Launcher
 puts up an error alert (which is OK, although users may think all hope is
 lost at that point).  Unfortunately, Tor Launcher also removes the
 progress bar from its network status window, even though progress is still
 being made due to the presence of another PT bridge.  We should be able to
 fix Tor Launcher to restore the progress bar when more progress is made,
 but it would be better to have the more complete fix inside tor.
