And google post in advance it's disclosure of intel (but also of AMD and ARM) security vulnerability.
That looks like a real mess.

@rysiek I'm starting to think Mozilla is just too big as an organization at this point. They've got so many things to going on at the same time that building a secure browser is just taking a backseat

We joined @github, @mozilla and @EngineOrg in an amicus brief in Cisco v. Arista. We argue against unduly extending copyright to cover CLIs. https://sfconservancy.org/news/2018/jan/03/cisco-v-arista/
