Hi All,

For cross-team planning purposes, it makes sense for us to have our
two-week development cycles aligned with those of the rest of the
Firefox org.

The broader org are scheduling work based on three two-week development
iterations in each six-week Firefox release cycle.  They're starting
"iteration 42.3" this week, the third and final two-week iteration while
Firefox 42 is on Nightly.

We're halfway through our train-43 development cycle, meaning we're
misaligned by a week.

I propose that once train-43 is out the door, we do a three-week train
to get into alignment:

  * Week of 3rd August:  train-43 tagged, train-44 begins
  * Week of 10th August: train-43 deployed, Firefox 40 released
  * Week of 24th August: train-44 tagged

This would put us squarely in alignment with the Firefox 43.X
development cycles, like so:

  * Firefox 43.1 == FxA train-44
  * Firefox 43.2 == FxA train-45
  * Firefox 43.3 == FxA train-46
  * etc...

At which point we might consider just adopting their naming scheme as
well, but let's not change too many things at once :-)

It would also mean that we have our train *deployments* offset by a week
from Firefox releases, unlike train-43 with is scheduled to go live the
same week as the Firefox 40 release.  I think this will be a good thing
for overall release and quality management.


Thoughts?

   Ryan
