I'm not convinced that it makes sense to add the GPG signature check in
the absence of any new uploads, as we don't really know what key might
be used for this.
Let me know whether there are still any changes you still want on top

That's not an option as no library ABI changes can go into testing
before the release.

At this point in the release cycle no more library transitions are
allowed, so libmozjs has to be fixed with a kluge like the patch that
Zheng Xu sent, not the upstream change.

that these functions never check that extraction from

because a truncated file or I/O error will result in use of
