----------------------------------+-----------------
 I noticed that in the 'bridges' section on the website, the recommended
 default pluggable transport still was obfs3. While elsewhere obfs4 is the
 recommended PT. I guess it's quite minor, but I'd think people get a bit
 jittery when they are presented with slightly off information about what
 obfuscation technique they should actually be using to protect against
 inspection of their anonymous connection.

 So I made a commit (and branch) to remedy this:
 https://github.com/stuij/tor-
 site/commit/ad38186eceabd733efd67d60485aed9da22e3f99

 Pull if you think it's worth the trouble (and I didn't mildly or wholly
 misunderstood something).

 Also, I noticed that the 'pluggable transport page' on trac suffered from
 the same affliction. I updated it slightly where it matters. There's also
 a section on composing pluggable transports where obfs3 is used, but I
 didn't dare touch that bit, as the whole section looks a bit outdated:
