    Per: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20814#comment:11

    The hardened channel for Tor Browser is going away. The sandbox will need updates for this.

    Easy changes:

    • Make it impossible to install the hardened channel.
    • The selfrando specific "disable AESNI in NSS" workaround should apply to the alpha channel.

    Release after the hardened removal:

    • Remove ASAN specific workarounds.
    • Purge the remnants of hardened except for the migration path (Can/should be done immediately if the migration path for sandboxed users is a reinstall).

    How the actual migration from hardened to alpha is handled on the sandboxing end is currently an open question. The easy thing to do would be to force a reinstall, but people probably don't realize that a reinstall will obliterate all existing preferences and bookmarks. The more involved fix would be to modify the updater to handle channel migration.
