Some 8.2 workarounds were actually used by 7.x which meant they couldn't have been dropped at esr17 branch point.

There're a few more ways out: 1/ apply the pointed out base commits and run regression tests 2/ revert the pointed out gecko commits and partly maintain yourself 3/ be paranoiac and not update at all Exactly why ports updates or operator running unrelated software cannot alter the calculation results is smth missing from the context.
