Comment:

 We plan to ship the hardened bundles in addition to our regular alpha
 builds. I wonder what would be the most straightforward way to add a new
 series given that it will need own updates etc. Having a channel
 `hardened` with something like `5.5a3-hardened` maybe?

 I am still thinking about how to add hardened builds in detail. Does it
 make sense to have own hardened descriptors given that we would only need
 two (tor and firefox) and could easily get rid of things we don't want
 (like the i386 target)? The disadvantage is the need to update different
 multiple sets of descriptors if we need to change any of them. But that
 should not happen very often...
