I’m gonna treat this as low priority until we confirm that it actually causes “user confusion and increased work for support people” to avoid guaranteed increased work for me. :)

Totally makes sense to me. Better focus on phase one (Feature #5920), unless bored and lazy :)

Still, waiting for a confirmation might not work. I suggest asking people who are actively doing support on IRC, such as BitingBird, about their recent experience.

Nobody asked anything about the bridges while I was on irc, sorry. Maybe somebody else ?

We’re planning on removing Vidalia, so I think this should be rejected (better to work on the replacement).

#10 Updated by intrigeri 2015-03-05 12:47:44

Can still be useful if we get a good patch for 1.4, otherwise should be rejected IMO, depending on the progress on the Tor Monitor front.

Vidalia will be replaced by TorMonitor -> let’s not work on that anymore :)
