Comment (by arma):

 It seems worthwhile in a general sense to try to salvage domain fronting
 with appengine if it's easy to do.

 In addition, it seems smart to move to a world where the Snowflake client
 ships with more than one potential domain fronting domain. Then it should
 be able to survive one of them going away without us needing to ship an
 updated Tor Browser to the affected users (who suddenly also find
 themselves without a working privacy tool to fetch the updates).
