One answer is the user shouldn't care. Tor Browser should automatically
loop through the various kinds of connectivity and just connect.
non-obfs bridges really should get wholly replaced with obfs bridges en
masse. 

Another thought is with flashproxy in the pluggable transports bundle,
what percent of flashproxies work by default with no user config needed?

I wonder if we could extrapolate that percentage to a larger "what if
we did relay by default?" for all bundles...
