Re. bugs 2336 and 2289: I'm not competent to review either of them.
They are beyond my experience.

So, devs: what to do? Would it be right for me to test them instead
of reviewing them (I don't know if I could even be sure to test bug
2336 exhaustively), do we wave it through, do we put up a special
build and ask the wider audience to test it, do we wave it through
and specifically ask on the NS users ML for people to test these
aspects of it; or what?
