- The 'inbound was closed for 15.3068% of the total time due to

closed at 10am California time, it's a lot more inconvenient to
developers than when it's busted at midnight California time. More
than 3x, according to

See my "note 3" under the "Inbound uptime" section. I used exactly that
graph to weight the inbound downtime and there wasn't a significant
difference.
- Getting agreement on a significant process change is really
difficult. Is it possible to set up a repo where a few people can
volunteer to try Kats' approach for a couple of weeks? That would
provide invaluable experience and data.
Yeah, there are plans afoot to try this, pending sheriff approval.
If you know what you want the repo to be called I'd advise filing a
RelEng bug about it now and we can get it done without being in the
critical path later on. You can also just ask for one of the twigs to be
customized
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/DisposableProjectBranches).
We're planning to use the try server, I believe.
