Comment (by yawning):

 Replying to [comment:17 nickm]:
 > Okay.  So, Tor 0.2.7 comes out in September-ish (we hope) and will start
 reaching TB alphas sometime around then.  Would fixing this on such a
 timeframe be worthwhile, or might we hope that the scramblesuit situation
 will be better by then?

 I don't really see the situation changing from the last time I commented
 on this.  The problem is people still running bridges with tor 0.2.4.x and
 pts that require 0.2.5.x, and the only sensible tor side fix for this is
 still "patch maint-0.2.4 to break all the broken bridges".

 Exposing the tor version in the 0.2.7.x timeframe does nothing to fix this
 (and complicates all of the pt code).  It is something I will seriously
 consider if/when a pt protocol 2.0 happens.

 At this point I favor either "Kludge something in bridgedb till 0.2.4.x
 dies" or "do nothing, since this will only get better over time".
