 Yay!

 > We had to change our Tor Launcher Moat client code to send the `id`s as
 strings instead of integers, but that was a trivial change.

 I thought I would need to fix this in the spec too, but the spec already
 said they should be strings not ints, so I was actually doing it wrong
 before.

 > We also switched from asking for `vanilla` bridges to asking for `obfs4`
 ones, because that is what works (I assume the bridges you assigned to the
 Moat distributor were obfs4 ones). For some reason I thought we were
 supposed to request vanilla bridges, but I don't remember where I got that
 idea. Please let Kathy and I know if it is okay to assume that Tor
 Launcher will be able to receive obfs4 bridges via Moat for the
 foreseeable future.

 There are plenty of `obfs4` bridges, so if it's doable on your side
 perhaps we should go with that? They should work better in more countries
 and get blocked less often than vanilla ones, so it'll probably provide a
 better user experience to not have to fill out as many captchas.

 Tentatively closing as "fixed", but of course feel free to reopen if
 there's any more issues.
