Comment (by cda):

 > Do you think we should go for vanilla bridges first, then obfs3 if that
 doesn't work, or giving out some of each kind? Or does it not really
 matter?

 I do not think it matters for these purposes but suspect that obfs3 may be
 more sustainable as an attack on vanilla bridges seems more likely (so
 long as the whitelisting regime in not reimposed [1]).
