Comment:
Should BridgeDB keep the "bridge " prefix or get rid of it? We can't stay
in limbo with it half removed, and I really don't want to switch back and
forth.
This basically boils down to:
=== PlanA ===
We get rid of the {{{"bridge "}}} prefix on the lines that BridgeDB
returns to users. Doing so means:
* Continuing to cause problems for Vidalia users.
* Continuing to cause problems for anyone still using TBB-2.x (though
this problem will disappear with time).
=== PlanB ===
We keep the prefix. Doing so means:
* We won't have to explain to torrc-using people that they need to add
it to the beginning of every line.
* We remain backward-compatible with anything which parses this output
and was expecting there to be lines starting with {{{"bridge "}}}.
* TorLauncher can continue to parse for it, instead of having to parse
for the IP address right away (which is likely more difficult, though in
JS I don't know).
I say fuck Vidalia, and vote for PlanB.
