** TBPL changes/autolog changes to make the builds more visible.
** Not sure if any implications for underlying harnesses at this point
*** Ensure xpcshell working?
*** ensure js api working?
 
=== Performance ===
* Talos
** Addons  (carryover)
*** joint with releng to figure out how to roll out talos changes in a more sane way.
*** tp5/dirtyprofile/xperf etc.
*** Staging envirionment back up!
*** we need to be able to keep our machines in sync
*** investigate measuring by other metrics than time
* Edeticker
