I opened a ticket to discuss how this user interface can be improved.

While it's easy to add new entries like this (see
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/12777/0001-Add-an-option-to-use-meek-through-CloudFront.patch),
I'm worried that it's not so clear for most users. On what are they
supposed to base their decision? How could it be better?

A possibility is that we could include just one option in the bundles,
and distribute the others from BridgeDB or support assistants.
