 agree that (1) is the ideal solution but it probably won't happen in the
 near future. I am not so happy about (2) as I bet there are a bunch of
 sites out there that break due to sending such a weird UA and sending none
 is very likely breaking a lot.

 sending the `38.0` UA is that it gives the false impression that we
 support all 38.0 features.

 I see. The interesting thing is that ICU was already a feature of ESR 31.
 And switching back to ESR 31 leads very likely to users showing up here
 complaining about websites saying they should upgrade their browser...

 I tried for quite some while to find a way to send them something without
 the need for me to have a Yahoo account. I have a case number now! We'll
 see if that leads somewhere.

 I guess what I'll do is spending some cycles on the proposed cross-
 compilation in the hope Jacek is fixing for us the remaining things once I
 got that somewhat working. :)
