Comment (by boklm):

 Replying to [comment:9 yawning]:
 > Will the move back happen in the upcoming release?  Or rather, assuming
 I am writing code now, that uses the `downloads.json` file and the auto-
 update related xml files, and that I will likely publish it after the next
 release happens, can I rip out the support for handling different
 hostnames now?

 I opened ticket #20219 to ask sysadmins to update the redirects. I think
 the URL you should use is
 https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/update_2/alpha/downloads.json
 which will redirect to dist.tpo (when #20219 is done). When we have
 pinning for aus1.tpo we will update the redirects to point there instead
 of dist.tpo, so keeping support for handling different hostnames can be
 useful.
