Even obfs4 is broken to the NSA; therefore, how does using it as the
minimum baseline expose the Tor Project to legal issues such as
accusations of violating CALEA or hindering BULLRUN? If making a default
password for public obfs4 bridges isn't feasible, please at least use
obfs2 or something, rather than nothing. Doing so will save lives in
brutal dictatorships that call for the execution of whistleblowers and
order assassinations based on metadata. Some petty tyrannies such as in
Egypt rely on C.O.T.S. (e.g. Finfisher/Eagle/etc.), which are less
advanced than NSA spyware.
