Comment (by boklm):

 Replying to [comment:10 brade]:
 > Using an update channel named "hardened" is OK but this will require
 some code changes (to support "alpha" instead of "aurora" we had to make
 some changes).
 >
 > Using "5.5a3-hardened" as a version number (internally, within the
 browser) won't work well because Mozilla's code expects version numbers to
 conform to a specific format.  For example, the updater code relies on
 this to be able to compare versions.  If this version number is just for
 git tag purposes, then nevermind.  :-)

 Would "5.5a3hardened" (without '-') work better or is it the same ?
