To add to Alex's list: Because this was a parity release we got away with not cleaning up JIRA and reporting on bug stats in our VOTE emails or in our RELEASE_NOTES. I don't think we'll get away with that again. We have to figure out how we're going to handle JIRA. I think Bertrand currently owns the majority of the new bugs as well as the large number of bugs that came over from Adobe.
