==Backouts from mozilla-central== | |||
If a developer asks for a backout of patch which has already been merged to central, code sheriffs should ask them if the fix requires to ship a new Nightly as soon as possible. If yes, back it out from central, else request new Nightlies and merge back to autoland, else just back it out from autoland. This guides the developer better than the question if the backout should be done on autoland or central. | |||
