Comment (by jsha):

 zyan's bugzilla bug to allow offline signatures for AMO extensions was
 rejected.

 Public key pinning has landed in Firefox:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744204 and
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/Public_Key_Pinning#How_to_use_pinning.
 However, that's for HTTPS requests, but the documentation to use CA-
 signing for XPIs appears to be about code signing. I'm willing to bet that
 the PKP implementation does not extend to code signing.

 Also, kmag on the bugzilla thread
 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=999014) has a very good
 point. If there's a universal hotfix addon that is not offline-signed and
 can deliver updates to any addon, there's no additional security for
 Firefox users in our current method. TBB users, of course, don't get their
 HTTPS Everywhere from AMO, and so are not affected.

 I think we should proceed with adding HTTPS Everywhere to AMO. zyan, any
 objections?
