Comment:

 My take-aways from this are:
 * `ExtORPort` is poorly named and therefore sometimes misunderstood. We
 try to address this confusion in our
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4proxy
 obfs4 setup guide].
 * It's not clear what hash should be used for a client's bridge line.
 #29128 will result in an easy-to-copy bridge line.
 * There was some confusion with the host's multiple IP addresses. #5304
 will address this issue.

 I'm closing this because we already have tickets for the remaining obfs4
 UX issues.
