Thanks again, Jason. Jan continues to be a diligent steward of the JS engine as whole and is the right person for module owner :) With js/src and js/src/jit both being owned by Jan, I would also like to see the JS and JS JIT modules merged at some point in the future. With performance being so important, understanding the JITs is an important skill for all our JS peers. --Ted _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
