    • Account Configuration bug 422814
      • Backend changes have been posted
      • discussion: concern about this making b1 given the work to be done, lack of usage to date, possible patch collisions

    • Password Manager bug 239131 (standard8)
      • LDAP patch waiting review (completes ldap changes)
      • Starting to look at rest of changes, i.e. smtp - standard8 concerned about checking in time for string freeze

Blockers / Wanted Bugs

      • alternative for b1: add UI for existing pref to disable js
    • bug 408370 STEEL
      • demote for b1 so that gloda lands first, which should help enable STEEL
