- Bashing my head against bug 1081768 and bug 1085591. What should be a no-op lifecycle change breaks reftests' assumptions about layer access. I'm going to test on 2.3.5, and gbrown is looking into why reftests don't run locally.

- QA/Sync migration chatter with kthiessen.
- Early reading list discussions with rfkelly.
