Description

BU 1.0 is to be the first version of BU that is technologically capable of achieving its stated business objectives -- that is, it can carry a meaningful quantity of real traffic, improving our blocking resistance and saving us some measurable quantity of dollars in bandwidth costs.

Here's what it'll take to get us there:

### Tasks
- [ ] [Improve balancer interaction](https://github.com/getlantern/broflake/issues/174)
- [ ] Introduce fault recovery
- [ ] Make Freddie horizontally scalable
- [ ] Make the egress server horizontally scalable
- [ ] [Add a BU protocol layer to help solve some of these problems (?)](https://github.com/getlantern/broflake/issues/127)
- [ ] On the censored side, enable BU for mobile users and solve any related NAT traversal issues
- [ ] Enable a real whitelist, not just ad domains
- [ ] Acquire X [TBD] DAU on the uncensored side
