Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:17 gk]:
 > Thanks. It seems to me we don't need the changes in `install.rdf.in`?
 They are bypassed anyway according to
 https://gecko.readthedocs.io/en/latest/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/addon-
 manager/SystemAddons.html. We need to make sure to block system extension
 updates in general, though. But that we already do (learnt the hard way :)
 ).

 Kathy and I forgot about that... you are correct. We have created a new
 patch that does not touch install.rdf.in:
