#13074: “Pluggable transport will not be launched” notice makes it hard to read
users' logs
--------------------+---------------------

     Type:  defect  |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal  |      Milestone:

--------------------+---------------------
 Now that pluggable transports are integrated by defaults in the Tor
 Browser, users' logs contain many times the ''pluggable transport will not
 be launched'' notice:
 {{{
 Pluggable transport proxy (obfs2,obfs3 exec obfsproxy managed) does not
 provide any needed transports and will not be launched
 }}}

 When no pluggable transports are used, the notice appears 15 times before
 Tor bootstrap phase begins. Making the log harder to understand than it
 should.

 Maybe the notice ought to be reversed? “Will start pluggable transport X
 as required”?
