Comment (by gk):

 As Mike noted today on IRC we are hopefully soon able to ship signed MAR
 files for the updater which means that it might not be worth all the fancy
 efforts in trying to safeguard a role signing key given that we need to
 include that one MAR signing key into our Tor Browser which creates yet
 another single point of failure... (granted I am simplifying a bit given
 the certificate pinning but still...).
