Major Topics for This Week

Release Planning
We have been keeping an eye on the blocking bug counts, stability and performance metrics. The current plan was to uplift all required code to Aurora (Fx13) and ship a Beta to the marketplace 4/16+baketime. The adjusted plan (proposed) is to wait for Fx14 to merge to Aurora and ship a Beta to the marketplace 4/24+baketime. The only date adjustment is 4/16 to 4/24. Given the longer than usual beta period, we are not expecting to adjust the final release date at this time.
Working on Soft Blockers
The release drivers may flas some blockers as "soft" meaning we'd take the fix if it makes the cut-off and is low-risk enough. Making the cut-off is an easy checkpoint, but determining low-risk is not. Even though drivers flag a bug as a soft blocker, we might still not accept the fix based on the risk level of the patch. The developer and review(s) need to chime in on the risk level.
Blocking Bug Disclaimer
Do not treat the blocking bug list as "these bugs must all be fixed before a beta candidate can be created" type of list. During blocking list cleanup, we have come across numerous bugs that would not really block if we had a beta candidate build that met our stability and performance criteria.
