* myk: How does one proactively propose disabling a feature that merged to Aurora due to quality/completeness issues? | |||
** current process for disabling/backing out features is mostly reactive | |||
** drivers monitor incoming feedback and bug reports and make decisions in response to them | |||
** here's a proactive process: | |||
*** file a bug requesting feature disablement/backout | |||
*** explain the reasons for the request in the bug description | |||
*** attach a patch that disables/backs out the feature | |||
*** nominate the patch for Aurora via the approval-mozilla-aurora flag | |||
