Comment (by cypherpunks):
When making a decision as to whether most or some Tor Launcher bridges UI
users may prefer (be able) to copy/paste bridge configuration info, please
keep in mind that there are scenarios, such as with Tails, where the user
is not online, and does not have any means to copy / paste this
information from anywhere, but just has to enter it manually.
Please also keep in mind that the average user does not understand "does
not parse", "key digest" nor "controller gave us config lines that didn't
validate", and is not necessarily aware that scrolling to the very end of
a lengthy log can be necessary to understand the cause of an error (nor
may she be used to and comfortable with looking at and trying to interpret
log files at all).
It is nice to see that much effort has been put into making things
somewhat accessible while still remaining forward compatible - but my
personal view is that the current interface is just not good enough for
the average, non technical user, from a usability perspective.
