Release 2021.4.15 Forthcoming #20048
Description
Type: Release
Important: A new Update Channel will be added soon, providing more coverage. This is prefacing a change and direction away from manually crowdsourcing rulesets. This change will be reflected on all HTTPS Everywhere sites and app stores. The current rulesets won't be changed and we will still have our remote hosting up and available. However, in the near future we will discontinue PRs for new rulesets. We (EFF) will discuss in depth as we release more details tomorrow.
That said, this release will be mainly focused on adding the new update channel. As we imagine the community will have questions, so resources will be dedicated to making sure everyone understands what is happening. The users won't have to do anything to accommodate the change, but the approach on rulesets for maintainers will change.

That's fair, I managed to wrap up most of the new update channel work. So I can get to these today.
