I now tend to agree. Before we act on this I'd like to hear what other
members of the Tor project members about it, though.

There's no emergency anyway, since we would have to wait for the
results of your BT client audits before we decide which one we ship.

Sure we did. We're slowly discussing most of it and are preparing
answers (== todo++, asking for clarification, or explanation of why we
disagree) to every issue raised. However, we're currently prioritizing
the final bits of Tails 0.10 over this.
