Comment(by arma):

 Rephrased yet again, in case the above is ambiguous:

 One of the issues is that Stegotorus expects a one-to-many interface ("for
 this tor connection, please contact the following 10 stegotorus
 listeners"), whereas our API was more designed for a one-to-one interface
 ("here's your obfsproxy server address; I'll tell it to you using the
 socks handshake").

 Is "ignore the address in the socks handshake, and cram all the actual
 addresses into the socks username/password" really the best hack we can
 do?
