Comment (by isis):

 Replying to [comment:12 elypter]:
 > why not ditch the orport alltogether. if all relays communicate over
 pluggable transports then active probing will become obsolete.

 This is about making the ORPort "ditchable".  However, it is ''not'' about
 making bridges communicate to the next hop over PTs, since that would
 reveal that they are a bridge (and thus nullify most of the work I did for
 #7144).
