Thanks for making Tor Browser builds deterministic (even though I don't use Tor browser), and especially for promoting the idea of deterministic builds.
Actually, I have to add that, in Russia, in order to be officially certified as "secure-enough to keep certain kinds of confidential data" by the government agencies, any submitted software has to have deterministic build, and they verify that by comparing the builds byte-for-byte. Any different byte not in gzip header is an immediate ground for rejection. By promoting deterministic builds, you help certain Russian companies (that I don't work for but have friends in) to reduce the amount of patches they need to carry in order for their builds of open-source products to be certified.
