Definitely not readonly today!

• l10n single-locale repacks are still burning, even after significant work to un-hork them. bug 923950 is blocked by releng configuration issue tracked by bug 951238. I'm concerned that I don't understand what releases this issue is effecting, and how much work uplift will be (it's definitely non-trivial). I can work around this if we have a time crunch for uplift (I think this is affecting Aurora as well?) but it's work that I don't have much time to do.

• |mach projectify| rebased patch is up at bug 853045. Testers wanted. It's Eclipse only, but the remnants of IntelliJ are there -- patches welcome. Patches for coding style defaults even more welcome.
