Hello,

This is a reminder that *Soft Code Freeze for Nightly 59 starts (this week)
on Jan 11th, 2018*. It will end on Jan 22nd, 2018.

We have been using the soft code freeze milestone since Fx55 to help
minimize disruptions to Nightly quality and to increase the likelihood of
shipping a high quality build to beta channel users post merge.

Dos and Don’ts during the soft code freeze:

Do:

   -

   Be ready to backout patches that cause crash spikes, new crashes, severe
   regressions
   -

   Monitor new regressions and escalate merge blockers
   -

   Support release management by prioritizing fixing of merge blockers

Do Not:

   -

   Land a risky patch or a large patch a week before Merge day
   -

   Land new features (that affects the current nightly version) a week
   before Merge day
   -

   Flip prefs that enable new Features that were untested in Nightly cycle
   -

   Plan to kick off new experiments that might impact a feature's merge
   readiness

Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.
Thanks,
Release management team
