Comment(by mikeperry):

 proper: I added the update check and our website traffic fingerprinting
 defenses + plans to
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#other. I also added
 some background on website traffic fingerprinting to
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#website-traffic-
 fingerprinting, because if you took current academic literature at face
 value, you'd have to come to the conclusion that it's crazy to try to
 encrypt anything on the web, because it can all be fingerprinted no matter
 what. Obviously I disagree.

 gk: Ok, most of your comments should be reflected in the design doc. I did
 not remove the paragraphs you suggested, but I did change the wording a
 bit and remove the use of SHOULD and MUST.

 Btw, the design doc source lives in my torbrowser.git remote mikeperry
 /design-doc. I'm still trying to decide how to merge that or what to do
 with it. I will be making an effort to keep the design doc more current in
 the future in general, too.
