Merge Week

Fx31 merges to Aurora on Monday. Now is the time to finish the small patches and decide on backing out the big patches that aren’t working well enough. Only you can prevent poor quality!

Some patches have landed, others are very close. What’s the current status of data being collected? What’s the plan for handing off post-analysis knowledge?
