Comment:

 Replying to [comment:13 cypherpunks]:
 > What is the state of this bug? It was opened half a year ago and remains
 immediate/critical severity level. Has it been mitigated in any other ways
 so far?

 Yes, the bypass has stopped with updating the pinning lifetime/releasing
 new Tor Browser versions. Thus, we can downgrade the severity. We can
 probably close this bug but I have to think first how to move the action
 items/ideas in this one into other/new bugs.
