 It is pretty dangerous to block addon updates if we have no way to update
 (or even inform) users whose TBBs are out of date. Auto-updating things
 like Torbutton will at least keep TBB users' fingerprints more in sync,
 making it less obvious when they run outdated, vulnerable versions..

 For other Thandy-stopgaps, see #2285 and the tickets mentioned in the
 comments there.
