I'd love for the recent changes to rendering which fix long standing performance issues on OSX to hit release as soon as possible. https://twitter.com/whimboo/status/1168437524357898240 . Many users are running nightly right now to take up these changes because they are so valuable. As a user, I'm requesting Firefox take features to market sooner :)

Philosophical question: does letting code incubate for a longer period of time with the same test/user load (same nightly/beta users, same integration test suite) really enhance stability?

> Translation: marketing managers want to change their minds faster than up to now.

This is just blanket cynicism - do you have insight into the Firefox development process that suggests this is true?
