Comment (by mikeperry):

 dcf: What if we just didn't include flashproxy in the default bridge
 prefs? Also, is UPNP likely to remain off or insufficient? If so, should
 we just provide these instructions from BridgeDB, and require that
 flashproxy remain a custom bridge type only?

 I would like to avoid cluttering the "Use default Bridges" UI with
 additional configuration steps and optional instructions, if possible. I'm
 of the opinion that it should remain a no-config option that provides
 bridges for the most likely functional transport type only.

 I also still don't like probing as a general matter, especially in a way
 that happens every single startup. If we do have to go the config route or
 multiple transport type route, it seems like we should make the
 prefbranches be extensions.torlauncher.default_bridge.type.N rather than
 extensions.torlauncher.default_bridge.N, and have the user pick a type and
 stick with it.
