I suspect that Georg had automated testing in mind, so what *people*
are ready to do or not doesn't matter this much. E.g. an automated
test could keep around copies of ~/.local/share/torbrowser/, restore
the one corresponding to the previous Tor Browser release, and test
the update to the last version as Georg described, right? (no,
I didn't volunteer :)
