 > Thanks for caring! I've just checked and AFAICT, we use the langpacks,
 that we extract from your tarball**s**, as-is. So I don't see what can
 possibly go wrong (famous last words) by enabling signature verification
 for them. Still, I'd be more comfortable if this change was applied in a
 Tor Browser 9.0 alpha/beta/RC, before 9.0 final, so we have a chance to
 test it while it's still time to fix stuff :)

 Fair enough and sounds good. We'll plan to start building another alpha
 (the last one before 9.0) at the end of next week. I'll try to get the fix
 for this bug into it.
