One last comment, re changed dependency versions for graphite2 and
harfbuzz (since the patches will probably apply to new ESR versions,
but perhaps the shipped versions might have changed) :
For graphite2, gfx/graphite2/README.mozilla (the ChangeLog in that
directory is NOT up to date in 60.0)
For harfbuzz, gfx/harfbuzz/README-mozilla
