Comment:

 Here is how it looks now in 3.6.3-meek-2. There are two separate options,
 meek-amazon and meek-google.

 attachment:0001-Add-an-option-to-use-meek-through-CloudFront.patchâ is how
 it looks in bridge_prefs.js. (Actually 3.6.3-meek-2 was not built with
 that patch exactly, because the patch is against master, and  bridge lines
 have to look different in the maint-3.6 branch. These two commits:
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/meek.git/commitdiff/efbfa9a2d70692e95a6f1d4191fbed56e50a2e46
 meek] [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/dcf/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commitdiff/45439b0ae6a62ed5343e9ed897c9246d116aed10 tor-
 browser-bundle] are the workaround needed in maint-3.6.)

 What I'm worried about is a user looking at this list of weird names and
 not knowing which to pick. Adding more meeks isn't going to help things.

 Maybe we ship one default and return other backends through BridgeDB?
