Comment:

 I don't know Fastly but what made me reluctant so far is that the risk of
 getting malware delivered in "official" Tor Browser binaries seems
 slightly higher if we are out of control here, given that we don't have
 content signing available for all platforms and who is checking signatures
 anyway. While this risk might seem not pretty strong, given that chances
 are not so bad that this will get detected, the potential damage in trust
 for us is pretty high, even if it turns out that was due to Fastly getting
 some NSLs and not "done" by us.
