Recover from errors during reconfig
During the reconfig done by release runner a few masters hit ISE 500 errors, eg:
[buildbot-master13.build.scl1.mozilla.com] out: abort: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
This caused the releases to be marked as failed on ship it. Because this error happened after configs had been committed and pushed, I commented out those sections of release runner before marking the releases as ready again. ~cltbld/release-runner/tools/buildfarm/release/release-runner.py:

Then ran 'supervisorctl restart releaserunner' as root to pick up the changes.
That reconfig also failed, this time because of a code problem due to a bad backout of bug 813613. I fixed that by hand, repushed, and then marked the releases as ready again. This time things proceeded smoothly.
After the releases were started I reverted my local change to release runner and restarted it with supervisorctl once again.

Throttling
Landed throttling patch prior to pushing snippets. Verified by manual repeated requests to https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/1/Firefox/10.0.2/20120215223356/Darwin_x86_64-gcc3-u-i386-x86_64/ta/release/update.xml, and noting that a small percentage of them got updates.
