Shipping Celebration

What did we ship this month? Alternatively, what didn't we ship to spare the world the horror?

• (groovecoder) Tracking Protection data is available on Re:dash
• (Osmose) Normandy + Morgoth did a few things:
  • SHIELD can now target surveys by the number of sync accounts you have, mobile vs desktop.
  • The SHIELD system add-on is now actively under review, and is nearing completion. Mythmon has landed a ton of awesome fixes based on the feedback from the review.
  • Rdalal put up a PR that refactors the state tree in Morgoth to be better. It puts into practice some of the guidelines from the Wordpress docs on handling React/Redux data.
• (ErikRose) DXR now has proper analysis of chained and nested Python calls. And add-ons is now indexed!
• (shobson) Persona removed from MDN.
  • Nothing to show off, we just wanted to say 'yay' and thank John for his hard work.
