- Landing code
- Patches need to be killable
- bugfixes and polish probably don't need kill switches
- something like workspaces will need to be able to be preffed out
- the sheriff needs to be consulted for any checkins for the next few days
- land directly on mozilla-central and merge back for these small things
- mechanism for preffing out?
- makefile variables
- or have things behind preference existence checks (if (somepref) { do this })
- makefile variables have the downside of bad line numbers for exceptions
- the preferences route is better because it's available in the product to try both paths
- security problems should probably just be backed out
