It is a short-term solution. This way all privacy-aware browsers are
spread across several largest anonymity sets instead of creating their
own. They do not even make available anonymity sets significantly
larger.

The long-term solution is to stop sending UA and convince others (Dillo
developers and TorBrowser first, addon developers and users second, major
browsers last) to do the same.
