And you're surprised that not every developer has done this? A minority of the developers I've ever worked with have ever done any of these things.

I'm really talking about the kind of developers that hang out here—people who regularly set up their own staging environments, use those "tunnel into my dev box" services, etc. Most of us here certainly know SSH, and probably have used GnuPG at least once. But it's still relatively unlikely, statistically, that you or I have ever touched the openssl(1) command.

Well, when we are talking about a change in Firefox, we are talking about every developer, not just the ones who hang out on HN.
