Pitch - Firefox 57 update
by James Hogarth
You may have noticed a mini ruckus on the development list which lead to a
FESCo decision being needed about the Firefox 57 update ...
Eventually the update will hit F26 (and perhaps F25 depending on timing)
and it will be a breaking experience for many users.
I suggested on the devel list that an article on FM giving a heads up to
users would be beneficial - of course having made the suggest I'm willing
to write it ;)
Since this is going to be a breaking experience and major change for our
users, outside of the usual release scope, I think it important we provide
early information in the magazine. I'll be providing a COPR tracking FF57
until it eventually hits stable as well that users can make use of to
provide feedback.
How does everyone here feel about this?

Maybe this warrants a quick article? Our
security-vulnerability-hey-we-fixed-it articles have been popular in
the past.

Thanks William!
In the meantime, I guess this means our schedule is now thrown off.
I'll see if I can write some other article up quickly tonight, but it
will be a bit of a hack.
