Jacob Appelbaum:
What about bridge users? They have to edit a system wide torrc and the TBB torrc?
You're over thinking it. Connecting to the Tor Project website often fails - far more than the Tor network being blocked.
Ok.
What about users who don't want to ever connect to the public Tor network? -> https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7197
Such users have a valid concern but I hardly think that this package is for such users - as it stands right now, that problem is made worse by both connecting to Tor's website *and* the public network.
Right, for such users it wouldn't work anyway, because downloading Tor Browser Launcher from the repository is unencrypted (but signed) anyway.
