Well, when you consider that every bug fix carries with it the chance of introducing a worse bug, sometimes holding off on a non-critical fix until everybody's back from the holidays and able to work 100% again doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Having some % of FF 43 users (who're about 3.5% of the browser market according to netmarketshare.com) experience degraded but functional video may be better than, say, a 1% risk of breaking youtube for 100% of users and not being able to fix it for a day.
- sylvinus 11y agoI think the point of the parent comment is that they would have done it right away even if Chrome usage had been at the same 3.5% share.
- zobzu 11y agoDefending Google and attacking Firefox is still the trend though, as many of the comments show here, even thus this Mozilla employe's comments are crystal clear (for once someone does that - that's great!)

Not being able to roll back for a day, you mean. Worst-case you hit the undo button, which they surely have.
- thawkins 11y agoA rollback is a change, it can still introduce problems if thete are issues in the rollback process, a deployment freeze is a freeze even for rollbacks.
