+*** Now down to the neighborhood of 15-17 hazards in the browser.
+** Front End and Other
+*** Generators are in SpiderMonkey central - http://wingolog.org/archives/2013/10/07/es6-generators-and-iteration-in-spidermonkey
+*** Intl patchwork: landed patch to make Intl initialization fully lazy, wrote/landed patch to make mochitests be fine with the presence/absence of Intl as appropriate for branch/nightly/b2g/etc. -- Intl is now on in nightlies! \o/ more work to be done yet re updating ICU, but we're in good shape on this front, finally
+*** Got better child process memory reporting working. Now need to clean up the patch and post for review.
+*** Dealt with several bugs that conspired together to take out AreWeFastYet .

+* For network performance tests, we'll be lobbying for "webpagetest" to be canonical, not tp5
+** motivator: predictive network API ("seer") ({{bug|881804}}) seeing 5% speedup on webpagetest "page revisit" example, but causes 6% tp5 regression.
+** expect a post to dev-tree-management soon from Nick Hurley with more info.
+** yes, we should move webpagetest infrastructure out of Bob Clary's basement :)
+* Looks like we're finally mopped up all followup bugs from landing off-main OnDataAvailable for image parsing.
+* HTTP/2: spec work continues.  Too many bugs discovered in draft 6, so we won't be shipping a version of it.
+* HTTP cache re-write: working on in-memory index.

+* {{bug|807322}}: Improving Android cold startup time
+** {{bug|929494}}: Using template typedefs, not inheritance, to define nsTArray element copiers results in code size savings on Android of about 570K (!), or ~2% of libxul .text size
+===Plugins (bsmedberg)===
+* Java block was deployed Friday. Expected negative feedback is flowing, but not at the moment too terribly. Mainly watching some high-value sites, such as pogo and a few banks (TD ameritrade).
