 Right, sounds good.

 I see. That's a bit sad. But on the other hand that is probably okay in
 case we need to have per-arch differences. I just wished the
 Changlogs/file names would indicate the architecture somehow to make it
 less confusing.

 Looks good. While re-reading the text is it still correct to say: "Give
 today, and Mozilla will match your gift"? I thought that was just for the
 year-end campaign? (I mean I'd would be cool if that were still true,
 but...)

 Works for me.

 > Yes, I see two options here. The first option is we follow tor-browser-
 build and create one branch per series (`master`, `maint-8.5`, `nightly`
 (?)). The second option is only using the master branch and creating a
 different `fastlane/` directory for each series, e.g. `fastlane_stable/`,
 `fastlane_alpha/`, `fastlane_nightly/`. Actually, if we use the second
 option, then we can create a common directory as `fastlane/` or
 `fastlane_shared/` where all of the shared files are stored (like the
 descriptions) and then we can create symlinks from both
 `image_repository/` and `fastlane/` in each series, as needed, for all
 shared resources.

 Yes, please. The second option sounds pretty good to me.

 Okay. Setting to `needs_revision` again.
