Thanks for reporting this back to us!

AFAIK, obfs3 bridges still work in China as well, and they do work
just fine in Tails.

Still, the landscape of pluggable transports is quickly evolving, and
indeed we have a hard time staying on top of things in this area.
We already had #7909 (Support scramblesuit bridges, almost done, and
on my plate for 1.3) and #7980 (Support obfs4 bridges), and I've just
created #8243 (Support meek bridges).

It's entirely unclear to me which ones we should prioritize.
Assuming we add support for Scramblesuit in Tails 1.3, then what
usecases won't we be supporting, that we could support better with
obfs4 or meek?

Cheers,
