Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:27551 legind]:
 > Understandably, Tor Browser may be wary of adding an additional update
 channel, maintained by another entity, which has the arbitrary ability to
 redirect URLs.  That's why HTTPS Everywhere has added the concept of
 `scope` to update channels.

 Woo -- thanks for thinking ahead to the obvious concern, and doing
 something about it. :)
