Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
This feature is enabling OpenGL compositing of layers on X11 systems. We already have this on by default on OSX, and are working towards it for mobile.
2. Users & use cases
Improve the performance of the scrolling and compositing of complex pages on X11 without regressing performance or stability on other pages.

Stage 2: Design
5. Functional specification
- Do we have accelerated layers design docs anywhere?
6. User experience design
`
Stage 3: Planning
7. Implementation plan
Next Steps
- Get testing coverage of this configuration on tinderbox. bug 594876
- Flip the switch on mozilla-central and measure amount of new bug reports.
- Adjust blacklisting and disable the whole feature if necessary.
- Adding new performance tests for regressions would be useful.

Stage 4: Development
9. Implementation
- bug 594876 [Linux] Turn on OpenGL accelerated layers by default for at least some subset of hardware
Stage 5: Release
10. Landing criteria
- Needs to pass all reftests tests on mozilla-central.
- Needs to not regress talos benchmarks on tinderbox.
- Needs to not regress perceived performance for users.
- Needs to not regress stability for users.
