As we all know "Brazilian TV news show Fantastico showed screenshots of an
NSA tool that had the ability to identify Tor users by monitoring Internet
traffic." as part of the FoxAcid program
https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/10/how_the_nsa_att.html
Since obfs3 will make it much more harder for ISPs and other surveilling
entities to detect Tor traffic and hence identify Tor users and operators,
all tor nodes should communicate with each others via obfs3.
This implementation is very easy, does't require special hard work, will
make Tor users/operators safer and more secure, harder to identify, will
make Tor traffic harder to decipher, and above all there is no downsides
for it especially in terms of resources and power consumption.
