- Legacy Plugins - Maintaining Firefox support for the Flash plugin, which will be removed at the end of 2019.
Development management
Cycle tracking
- Match up with release cycles, no open ended development
- The idea is to pick enough bugs to fill a release cycle
- Limits the amount of work people have on their plate
- Each cycle has polish bugs mixed in in addition to normal bug work
Priority field as a classification
- p1 - serious bugs, show stoppers, release blockers
- p2 - general bugs, really want to fix, easy to reproduce
- p3 - corner case bugs, low occurrence, hard to reproduce, polish bugs, non-breaking
- p5 - future, fix optional, community, good first bug
