of the TorBrowser upstream (I count 26 patches in src/current-patches/)?
Great idea! Adding them upstream is the way to go. Not sure if that is
realistic...

- Camilo Viecco, who now works for Mozilla on adding privacy features to
Firefox. He has been frustrated so far at getting his commits in: he has
buy-in from the security team, but other teams block his commits with
statements like "it's an arms race we can't win, so don't even bother
trying to make things better". I encouraged him to get his mid-level
manager to play the politics game better on his behalf.

Iirc, there was also a socks bug, where patch existed and mozilla still
needed no less than 5 years until they finally merged it.
Please ask Mike on how difficult/realistic it is, to get the patches
merged upstream. Since he hasn't replied to this thread, I'll mail him
about it right away. Feel free to contact him as well by mail or ask about
the patches thing on irc.
