Comment (by cypherpunks):

 In a way, fingerprinting bugs are even worse than other security bugs: If
 you're worried about a conventional security bug, you can backport the fix
 locally and use that until there's an upstream release. Whereas locally
 backporting an anti-fingerprinting bugfix will, perversely, make you
 ''more'' fingerprintable.
