Schedule Update

• 45.7 esr shipped
• 51.0 (mobile + desktop) released Congrats Gerry!
• 52.0b1 in progress (desktop will need a build2)
  • Bug 1333443 - 52.0b1 is busted due to migration bug

• system addons coming this week? - e10s (bug 1332692), tls 1.3 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1307568)
  • Thur or Friday for the SAO update push
  • this update removes several addons from the whitelist for e10s to be enabled. (amazon addon)
  • Since the SAO update uptake is ~55%, should we consider doing a dot release?
  • Do the users who aren't getting the system addon, have any other addons at all? (How to figure this out?)
  • Could do the system addon update, and see what the result is. Who will monitor the uptake rate/#? rhelmer?
  • If the SAO update is not adequately addressing the problem, we might plan to do a dot release next week (combined with other critical items)
  • Issues with System Add-on update - shell reach out rhelmer https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1307569, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1323547
