I'm super happy that intrigeri took over the technical discussion that
was slightly over my head :)

In terms of documentation:

- We've had an unusable version of Electrum in Tails for 1.5 month and,
if we can't make it usable again, we should consider removing it at
some point, independently of the Debian status of the package. Please
let me know if we reach a point where we should remove it and I'll
update the doc.

- I'm still ready to build up on s7r's tutorial and explain how to run
the AppImage in Tails for advanced users as I offered in the opening
post of this thread.

April was the first full month with an unusable version of Electrum.
We've had -6.4% of boots in April compared to March. We had no releases
in April and a negative number is quite usual in such cases. -6.4% is
quite a lot but no unprecedented and roughly the double of the last
months we had without releases. See stats in attachment.

So I think we lost at most 5% of users by having a broken version of
Electrum, roughly as much as what we lost when we dropped 32-bit
computers. Not super fun but not catastrophic either. Rather good news!
