For background see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214070 https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gecko/2015-September/005697.html I've learnt to cope with the burnout by limiting my time in gecko@. A lot of users want an up-to-date browser (unlike www/chromium ;), so the process is optimized towards that goal. For example, getting users interested to test updates before landing (e.g., during Beta phase) is near impossible. By pushing RCs to /latest early /quarterly users get more stable updates. Do you have a better strategy herding the cats? There's no fish here to make someone do the boring work.
