-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think this plan is generally sound. Users are moving en-masse to 10.9 with the free update, so we should focus our resources there, and keep 10.6 around to support those users that can't update for hardware reasons. I just have one point of contention with what you've written.

While it's true that we might not back a patch out for 10.7/10.8 failures (since we won't have automated test coverage), if they're still supported platforms then we would still look to fix the bug. That might require backing a patch out or landing a new fix. I don't think we need to over-rotate on this, this is no different than any of the myriad of regressions or bugs we have reported by users with software configurations different than what we're able to run tests on. I would instead simply say "10.7 and 10.8 will remain supported OSes, and bugs affecting only those platforms will be considered and prioritized as necessary". It sounds a little weasely when I write it that way, but I don't think we should WONTFIX bugs just because they're on a supported platform without test coverage, we'd simply treat them as we would any other bug a user reports: something we ought to fix, prioritized as is seen fit by developers. - -Ted -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSj5R3AAoJEO4hHFCY7TaO0D4P/jg6X5qwkg6i93WXAcpnYMro wXCuE6xUAhqf2LBIjKNom5rhi7kQernPf1VNfawpZDgU1a6UXZTg/VpaltH4CWOo eF4Y9x+1jsyjtnpPji8Km58AE/MsDN/VZNtfcoY0UMbk39tbMmTKE0+Zrp0EDwvh 5Jwh0iOWUw2BNu9j2SeQHcB3ztGJE+wMU67HjkQ+CwUtbJXW6jxwlaRC/afos85W FgxkxXb3tDGviwV3Aok5DMuIrNpC7qiOu1gw6h0fuq0oC8mCD/8yL8ZrOiOITbYd zCZIqxtcwf9VyYhusdsIe4Ak84XN+uk95xtM4Bjen4RZVfEjvnleLbCoPQtLajAt 7qGfNKoRYZPcoy4RDPjZoZNKqEuU+EuVv0TzjnHAT4GoD0iuQVajfI+RfhHxIKr1 TmbPwWIteHs2zM74C2XE2H1pyyKOk2Hl3EHvHLEP5Mrs8XfGkybD3liUn/4cGq+Q bFjUvbcy+zWOQ1ssc7UnfJBHdi/MwT+80/nie1dAMRcqguPMLYiLtZX7lCIKiZ4S QArz7LgdNkqsEtY5XhCMSc5Mymh2T1An5RceTd7PGMtUf6QDr1lt+tR7FcCM8Gcn ELbFWwkLUSJBHzQlkeLgVDUKwf6Zb5BMA8ekQDazyx0CSDLuVk3oRUCRaLKCWPkn 3ZzViroZQLji6/i1ArgC =80id -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
