As part of Platform Operations on-going efforts to migrate automated builds
and tests from Buildbot [1] to the new Taskcluster [2] framework, you may
notice "Android 4.3 API15+ opt" and "Android 4.3 API15+ debug" tests run
from Taskcluster: See the "tc" jobs at [3].

For now, Android 4.3 tests run from Taskcluster are classified as Tier 2.
As explained at [4], that means that results are shown by default on
treeherder, but are "for information only": test failures will not result
in backout. The traditional Buildbot-originated tests continue to run as
Tier 1.

At some time in the future, the Taskcluster jobs will be elevated to Tier 1
status and the Buildbot jobs will be retired.

At this time, no changes have been made for "Android 4.2 x86 opt"; I may
look at that in Q3.

As far as I can tell, the Taskcluster-originated tests behave just the same
as the Buildbot-originated ones. If you notice differences, please file a
bug blocking bug 1270544
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1270544>, or let me know.
