  • Patches have landed on m-c. Nice work Brian!

  • Minor security bugs to be addressed right after the MAR signing patch (couple days of work). Releng will get me new certs and I will have to include those new certs which will be about another day.
  • Assuming Robert/Brian is comfortable with the patch on m-c, Brian will land this on Aurora (Fx11) hopefully next week.
