-|Feature open issues and risks=Currently blocked by Security Issues - and also need to be made compatible for Firefox 9.
+|Feature open issues and risks=BYOB currently requires some extra work with reviewing, signing etc Partner Builds and the main goal of BYOB - creating some way to have customizations for enterprises is now kind of superseded by the ESR.
-Target is to make BYOB at one time the central place for creating partnerbuilds.
+So i think of the ways
+a) letting BYOB what it is today and letting users play with it. But removing the bookmark / bookmark toolbar feature to reduce reviewing efforts and using the new signing server so that the work required to keep byob up is reduced.
+b) using a internal instance of byob to create custom partner repacks like we did for holiday edition of firefox with being able to change the distribution.ini - uploading of extensions etc - instead of doing a lot of stuff via vim edits of distribution.ini on the partnerdist server
 |Feature overview=Byob (http://byob.mozilla.com) is the Mozilla Build your own Browser Project - for more see http://blog.mozilla.com/tomcat/2010/04/30/byob/ - this feature request is for making BYOB ready for Firefox 9 and also to fix some of the outstanding bugs for making byob better
 |Feature users and use cases=Enterprises, Organisations etc and in the later also the Partner Group with Creating Partner Builds
