I think this is a good point - separating out taking tip of Gecko/Gaia for an upcoming Firefox OS release. That being said, I'm not certain we can pause from v1.1 development long enough to seriously evaluate the quality of master and determine whether it's a viable switch in the next month. Perhaps we should change the topic to being "Going back to m-c and/or gaia master for v1.2" -Alex On Apr 3, 2013, at 1:20 PM, Ben Francis <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 8:16 PM, Jonas Sicking <[email protected]> wrote: > >> This actually means that we would have the ability to go back to >> mozilla-central and gaia master right now and ride the normal release >> trains for the Gecko 23 release, while still reaching the release >> milestone for gecko before v1.1 is done. >> > > I won't try to speak for the gecko part, because I understand there are > challenges in syncing Firefox release schedules with Firefox OS release > schedules. > > But from Gaia's point of view I absolutely support going back to using > master for 1.1.
