Also as it makes such huge leaps, bisecting the tree to find a commit 
that introduced a crash is not possible.

Actually worse as Bitwise has been resistant to TB and SM related fixes, 
eg currently their tree is not quite up to date and is missing the last 
couple of commits for TB 38.8.0 and I couldn't convince them to update 
it past the FF38.8.0 tag. If I had the bandwidth, I could fork their 
fork but as it stands... Luckily those last commits don't seem to affect 
us but still nice to have the tree include the official TB38.8.0 release tag
