Neutral to positive reviews

IT

  • Hg timeout issues bug 460054 - Hg frontend is now being served out of read only servers. Issues with builds timing out are now resolved.
  • Conference bridge extension is changing to x92, because of people inside Mozilla mis-dialing 911 trying to get into the conference system. Both x91 and x92 work currently, but x91 will go away in a few weeks (it will have a recording informing of the new number).
