Yep, that's what occurred to me as well. mcs/brade: aiming for the SOCKS
args work to be ready for 9.0a1 seems like a good idea to me. Could you
open a child ticket to this bug for that? We can then start shipping Tor
Browser with uTLS support in the alphas shaking out bugs and have this
ready for 9.0 later this year. However, we should have #28044 done first
if possible.
This is quite exciting as it gets rid of the additional browser profiles
we ship, too, and brings us a step closer to a Tor Browser without
extensions that need a signature requirement exception.
So far I see no drawback of using `meek_lite`, so let's aim for that one.
We can think a bit more about it, though, before we make a final decision
in a couple of weeks.
