Actually, if you could log in remotely to an interface that isn't
obviously a gateway to Tor and the proxy/bridge there was one that you
ran yourself or otherwise trusted, this could be an easy way to make
sure your transport didn't look like it was talking a Tor protocol
(because it wouldn't be talking Tor protocol).  That's just off the
top of my head, but the point is that there could be scenarios where
this could support circumvention as well as anonymity.
