Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Well, it seems you've decided to follow Mozilla blindly in all its
 decisions, good or bad. But it's a cul-de-sac.
 Is there any chance that you could change your mind?
 If Mozilla is doing something wrong in a hurry, and you see it, why don't
 you tell them about it?
 If they want to make supplementary things mandatory (e.g. SSE2), when
 other FOSS devs are doing the opposite, why don't you mind?
 If they advertise the worst proprietary things in history (SSE2, needed to
 be "fixed" by SSE3, and Pentium 4, yes, even Intel confirmed that) in
 2017(!), why nobody asks what's going on?
 So, having ESR52-based TBB cross-compiled and operational (w/o SSE2), why
 do you still drag those ### patches into Tor Browser, even when Mozilla
 requires them for Windows only?
 Don't break the rules, please.
