 Yes. Not sure what you want to point out.

 > Have you reverted https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-
 aurora/rev/7d7176ca2470 to test `IOInterposer`?

 No. But what I did was compiling our latest 45.4.0esr code once with GCC <
 6 and once with GCC 6 and the latter allowed me to run Tor Browser with
 EMET while the former not. *All* other things were equal.

 You mean the nightly build I pointed you to? That worked pretty fine for
 me with all the EMET features enabled. Others reported that as well (and I
 assume they had all features enabled, too).
