Hi iry!

For those following from home, since you asked, the status has been
clarified there:

https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8243

Right. I *think* we have this on our radar, and possibly even on our
roadmap (https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14555 perhaps).
I'll check once I get online.

I don't know what's the timeline on the Tor side of things though.
I believe sajolida is following closely the development of Tor
Launcher upstream in this area. sajolida, when can we expect this to
land in a Tor Browser alpha releases? And stable? It would help if our
developers knew when they can start working on this, and when they
should be done.

(Disclaimer: being offline right now, I didn't look at the
tickets yet.)

I'm wondering too! From my (not very knowledgeable) perspective
I don't understand what this has to do with anon-connection-wizard vs.
Tor Launcher. If you believe the tickets make this clear, fine (I'll
read them later). Otherwise, please enlighten me :)

Cheers,
