Agreed that major fallout is unlikely - do we have a list of the most
heavily used mobile tablet sites to verify that this change will not
cause severe web regressions though?
I will consult the wonderful Mr. Mandel.
It appears that no-one has tablet-specific data. We will have to make do
with mobile-specific data. :-|
When do you expect to have a final comms plan (blog posts and
necessary TE)? Thanks!
It might be in the New Year now, but hopefully sooner.
Please critique this:
0) We make sure that everyone who needs to know about the change knows
that it's in the pipeline, even if we can't give a final ship date.
That's the product owner of Fennec, the Toolkit module owner, and
Fennec release-drivers.
1) We make a patch and check it in to Nightly, and uplift to Aurora.
Rationale: attempt to reduce the number of browser versions out
there with this change. Rather than 6 weeks on Nightly and 6 on
Aurora, better to skip straight to Aurora for wider coverage and
stay there longer if necessary.
2) We ask the Mobile testing team to be on particular lookout for site
regressions in Aurora, and use Phony to try and test whether it's a
UA issue.
3) Every time a significant problem is reported, the change is put on
hold and does not advance until we deal with it.
4) Once the change moves to Beta, we set off the sirens again, making
blog posts, warning product owners, release drivers etc. and make
sure everyone is still OK with it. That gives 6 weeks of warning.
If this doesn't work, please supply improvements :-)
