 The author of this bridge stated there is no real anon with this bridge or
 security provided other than simple box obfuscation.

 It is time to set 2019 to devote to a real new solution for bridges.

 I don't know about Snowflake but I guess if people only want to work on
 one solution that is their choice but I think some leadership organization
 needs to address the lack of real Bridge development.  Most of the
 Advertised future bridges are years old and still lack any real
 development other than the initial research papers.  Maybe the development
 is private?  Probably, but since Tor cannot act in private it needs to
 coax out some open development.

 I have no inclination to the correct path other than it needs some
 "Highway Development"

 Roll it all out into Alpha tor I don't care throw whatever bridges are
 available and let people test them.  If they are not deemed possibly
 better than Obsf4 proxy don't even bother.
