e10s Update: July 8

Executive Summary

• Release criteria for Beta 48 is still green [1].
• We continue to be at 0 M9's (and have been) for a few weeks
• As of this week, 590K users have been exposed to e10s in Beta 48.
• So what's the release plan? We are working on a day-by-day snapshot of the activities that have to occur once Firefox 48 goes to GA. This is basically a small 'throttle team' who will be at helm of throttling e10s up or down (or disabling). This is driven by RelMan but will be supported by e10s subject matter experts so that decisions can be made quickly. You can refer to these docs for more info and WIP details: http://bit.ly/29mIbXs and http://bit.ly/29kiycI.

Automated tests
