14:05 kbrosnan: dveditz_: as normal qa signs of
14:05 kbrosnan: off
14:06 dveditz_: meaning signs off on FF28 merging to aurora?
14:06 kbrosnan: yes
14:06 dveditz_: ok, that seems so normal as to not be worth mentioning
14:07 lmandel: gavin: Desktop update?
14:07 kbrosnan: people regularly ask why no aurora updates
14:07 akeybl: dveditz_: it is normal, I don't think I mentioned it in my voice update
14:08 akeybl: it's just in the notes for those who follow along
14:08 dveditz_: yeah, you didn't. you mentioned the holly thing though... that might be worth putting on the wiki page for people not here
14:08 akeybl: sure

14:15 mmc: dveditz_, there was also a long thread on dev-planning
14:15 overholt: Mutually Assured Shipping is like Mutually Assured Destruction but less morbid
14:15 dveditz_: mmc: thanks!
14:15 khuey: blassey: though it could probably work on regular posix without much trouble
14:15 blassey: doh... broke the rulez
14:15 blassey: khuey: that would be cool
14:15 ctalbert is now known as ctalbert|bbiab
14:15 dveditz_: oh, the addon registration mega thread. sorry, I thought you were going to start a new thread for your proposal
14:15 blassey: khuey: I wonder if it would reduce the memory pain of e10s enough to use it on fennec again
