Thanks for breaking out all the options, Isabela and Nick!
After more consideration of all of them, given that these next few months will be spent mostly doing rebase work, I think either Option 2 or Option 4 above seem like the best plan.
The only reason we should *need* new Tor features during the FF38 rebase effort is if the pluggable transports decide they need new Tor features in that timeframe. In fact, better PT support/fixes were the reason for most/all of our previous round of tor patch backports.
Otherwise, we would just be including Tor 0.2.7 for more testing exposure. If the tor-core folks are fine waiting a bit longer before 0.2.7 sees a TBB release, I think it's fine for us to wait, too.
Okay. Under this plan, when would we expect the first TBB alphas including 0.2.7 to come out? Some time in late august, or some time even later than that?
