[20013 status update goes here after 11am triage]
Still on schedule to [[Releases/Firefox_2.0.0.13|freeze 1.8.1.13]] this Friday at 11:59pm. If you have patches that have been approved, please land them as soon as possible so QA can start testing and verifying. If you own a blocker and don't think you'll have time to finish it, please let us know.


I also want to highlight a [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/498395478552cef4 post] from Boris Zbarsky on dev-planning. Getting branch blockers fixed is something we've been struggling with for several releases now. If anyone has ideas on how to improve this situation, please reply to Boris's post.
