    I read the article and I still don’t understand what a “salvo” is? The Greens are right though, this isn’t going to benefit anyone except the developers.

      Its technical meaning is:

      a series of shots by an artillery battery with each gun firing one round in turn after a prescribed interval

      But derived from that is its common usage outside of military contexts. Particularly in the phrase “opening salvo”, which means:

      the first in a series of questions, statements etc that you use to try to win an argument

      It’s that usage which is being used here, only not necessarily with the “opening” part.
