Comment:

 Changing status to 'blocking' because #9156 is blocking on this.

 From #9156:

 >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.
