Comment (by dcf):

 But! There are many use cases and threat models. A DNS-based transport
 might be nice to get out from behind a wi-fi captive portal, for example,
 even if it is vulnerable to a nation-level censor. I would find it
 valuable to have a DNS tunnel into Tor that I can configure with only a
 bridge line, as opposed to setting up a tun device or whatever, which I
 have always found difficult.

 DNS could also be interesting for rendezvous (like flash proxy) or for
 dynamically fetching bridge addresses.
