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.
