research we did using libwebrtc ([[doc/Snowflake/Fingerprinting]]) showed
that even with the native library, Snowflake did not match other
applications. I don't think swapping one library for another costs much at
this point, in that respect.
There's also something to be said for the trade-off in
complexity/adaptability, which I believe motivated the move from a
headless Firefox helper to uTLS in meek:

If pion/webrtc makes it so we can build snowflake for Windows and Android
more easily and if they are amenable to us proposing changes based on
observed blocking, then this seems like a good path forward to me.
