No, it's to have our browser codebase as close as possible to the
regular Torbrowser's one. Each patch we drop has the potential to make
our browser look somewhat different on the Internet.

Personally, I believe the Windows Camouflage mode is our best bet when
it comes to hiding one is using something weird. I guess we would take
patches that s/Tor Browser/Firefox/ or something in camouflage mode,
but I don't consider this as a valid line of reasoning as far as
non-camouflage mode is concerned.
If others think differently, I'm happy to read their thoughts and
perhaps change my mind :)
