'''Socorro (crash reporting)'''
* Socorro repartitioning is bocked by replication {{bug|469220}} and {{bug|469215}} -- Lars' work there is done and ready to roll out, but we want to make sure we have proper backups before we repartition, because a failed migration would be catastrophic and require a complete restore.
