- bug 791854 - we have determined that armv6 testing on armv7 devices (tegras) is sufficient to test Non-IonMonkey configuration needed for B2g
- this will disable armv7-non-IonMonkey test coverage (this was added as a proxy for b2g)
- this was extra load that was going to worsen our wait times
- this armv6 proxy coverage will only be valid while the builds are run on tegras devices (armv7)
- this will disable armv7-non-IonMonkey test coverage (this was added as a proxy for b2g)
- Switching linux desktop build machines soon (centos6 based, some will be run on AWS)

- bug 790139 - crash in libxul.so@0xf... while enabling Reader Mode on custom kernels
- bug 756140 - even though this is with Cynogenmod, the number of crashes for this is huge (6240 crashes in 3 days) versus the next one down which is 1,576 crashes in 3 days. It's the biggest crash in 15/16
- bug 791462 - is being looked into. It's causing a spike in the crashing for nightly. It's a crash in Ion Monkey. Thanks, Marty!
- could be the same as the desktop crash
