 We don't plan to move forward with Selfrando deployment as it is not much
 more work for a browser attacker to bypass it, it's not available on all
 platforms, and it has some issues (like delayed load in e10s mode, see:
 #26579). Additionally, it's work to fix build breakage (in `elfutils`) to
 make what we build with compatible with newer GCCs. And I expect another
 round of Firefox compilation issues when switching to ESR 68.

 All in all I think the gains for our alphas are not worth the effort.
