 have a dev, hardened, alpha and stable tor-browser-bundle tree to get
 releases faster out.

 FWIW: it is not an objection in the sense that a thing needs to get fixed
 to get the patch merged. I am just annoyed that this thing causes quite a
 big part of my hard disk filled with crap I don't want (and IMO should not
 be needed in an ideal world) :) `rbm` not really mitigates this concern
 (although, sure, I don't have to check out all of this four times).
