Comment (by asn):

 I'm also not very enthusiastic about adding workarounds in Tor for this.
 The good thing is that `0.2.5` will soon get released and eventually
 become the stable release.

 Adding transport-specific workarounds in BridgeDB is not great either, but
 maybe we can get away with it because BridgeDB is in Python (fix will be 3
 lines) and has a more fluid development cycle.

 Another good thing is that all those scramblesuit bridges are probably
 providing obfs3 too, so they are not entirely wasted.

 Finally, I'm not entirely against `TOR_VERSION` because it seems like
 potentially useful information and can help us hotfix such issues in the
 future (it's also easy to implement).
 Maybe instead of `TOR_VERSION`, we name it in a more general manner (like
 `APP_VERSION`) or something, and let other projects fill in their own
 things.
