I probably won't get home on time, so here are the notes for today.
Async login manager: XPCOM and js-module APIs, plus a fake-async implementation are posted on the bug for review and feedback. Once the APIs are finalized and approved, we're going to land this and start fixing all in tree callers (mostly tests). The callers will be fixed incrementally. In parallel, the fake-async implementation will be replaced by Neil's work (It's still unclear if we can do that gradually. I'll comment on that later).
