Comment (by sysrqb):

 While we maintain Orfox, we should decide:
  1) Do we use openjdk-7 or openjdk-8?
  2) build-tools-23.0.3 is not available with the hardcoded SDK `mach
 bootstrap` downloads, should we patch bootstrap so it downloads/expects
 23.0.1 or should we bump the SDK tarball it downloads?

 I wonder if Mozilla corrected the build-tools issues in Firefox 52+, I'll
 take a look at that and see if we can backport an easy patch (we can
 easily write our own patch, too).

 For the JDK version, I have a slight preference for using openjdk-8
 because it's supported, while openjdk-7 is EOL.

 I'll open tickets for anything needing a tor-browser patch, but we may
 choose simply documenting workarounds until we start following Mozilla
 releases.
