Agreed.

TBH dropping that particular patch is the least of my worries among the
Torbrowser patches. It'd only change our default values of a couple of
pref:s, and actually it'd change them back to what Mozilla considers the
default. I expect a higher probability of regressions if we *keep* the
patch. The impact on security is another question, of course...
