We've been having a lot of problems with capacity for our Windows test
pools, with Windows 8 being particularly bad.

Today we disabled running Windows 8 64-bit tests by default on Try. If you
do really need Windows 8 tests for your try pushes, you can add try syntax
like this to enable: "try: -b o -p win64 -u mochitests[Windows 8]"

Treeherder's "Add new jobs" feature is also a great way to select
additional tests for your try push.

Please be mindful of our limited hardware capacity when choosing which
tests you need. We do publish a report of top pushers to try:
https://secure.pub.build.mozilla.org/builddata/reports/reportor/daily/highscores/highscores.html

We have been working on migrating as many tests as possible to AWS. So far
we have migrated many Windows 7 test suites over, but none of the Windows 8
suites have been migrated yet. Our plan is to focus instead on providing
Windows 10 testing in AWS, and then disable the Win8 tests once those are
ready.

Cheers,
Chris
