Thanks for raising this topic. This proposal suits me well.

FYI, on the iceweasel+torbrowser side of things, my plan is to
(hopefully) put a first test ISO out at some point before Thursday
25th at noon CEST. Things are going well, and I think this is doable.
I'd like some of us (and as many people as possible, actually!) to
review and test it for a few days before we merge it and call that
RC2. So, I think best case is RC2 on Monday, 29th. Given another test
ISO will have been out for a few days already, we might dare releasing
0.14 a bit less than a full week later. I'm happy to let this decision
up to whoever will actually do the release.
