Comment (by gk):
 Replying to [comment:5 acat]:
 > Looks good to me. Would it be worth deviating from mozilla and use the
 latest v10 version instead? (currently v10.20.1)
 I am not convinced it would be. First, Mozilla might have a reason to
 stick to this particular version (we have seen [comment:7:ticket:30321
 weird bugs in node before] which we'd maybe need to work around
 otherwise). Second, [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/34108
 I plan to have a script] to alert us once we deviate from Mozilla's
 toolchain requirements so we can adapt. I believe the more we differ from
 what Mozilla is using the harder it will be to keep track. Third, it's a
 compile-time dependency, no runtime dependency. Thus, updating to the
 latest and greatest version security-wise is not as urgent IMO.
