Comment:

 It does conform to the spec.

 The interval and threshold is randomized on a per-server instance basis.
 Exactly how this is implemented (and even then there is a difference
 between `SHOULD` and `MUST`) is deliberately left up to the
 implementation, and the altered behavior is also fairly distinctive.

 As a side note: I both recommended starting the development of something
 new, and the migration off obfs4 over a year ago.
