    • Next Minor Stable Release - patchset that needs to be verified in nightly before backport
    • Eventually - patchset that needs to be verified in alpha before backport
    • No Backport - patchset for the next major stable

Change Description

To verify it you should either obtain a certificate for bridges.torproject.org from an authority different than Let's Encrypt (not using the same root certificate) and MITM briges.torproject.org, getting the SSL error in the screenshot below.

Or, more easily, you can use the intermediate test commit 828666e1 I'm submitting first (which pins bridges.torproject.org to a different CA) and get the same error without MITMing the site.
