Comment (by arma):

 Yes, good summary.

 I was wary at first of a little web app to help with testing, because it's
 yet another place to go break into or watch; but I think so long as we
 know it is a short term fix until the proper reachability testing gets
 into the version of Tor that people have, the usability boost makes it an
 acceptable risk.

 I expect we have quite a few obfs4 bridges right now that are firewalled
 off -- and if we do a campaign to get more people to run obfs4 bridges,
 without a good easy intuitive step for "then check if it works" we'll have
 even more.
