Description

So far we are maintaining a list of available pluggable transports in /doc/first_steps/startup_options/bridge_mode but people often ask for more transports. But it would also be helpful to explain why newer transports are not supported and what needs to be done.

Let’s agree first on a rationale for that and then we can decide where to put it. If the explanation is small enough it could fit directly on /doc/first_steps/startup_options/bridge_mode otherwise we might want to write a more complete FAQ.

So what is required for the inclusion of a new pluggable transports?

It seems the need to more PT from TBB tarball is much lower than it used to and the discussion started on tails-dev never reached a conclusion. So this documentation might actually be obsolete nowadays, or too costly compared to the benefit it’ll bring. -> Rejecting.
