soft freeze is now lifted.

Hi all,

With Firefox 80 release candidates already shipping, we are nearing the 
end of the Nightly 81 cycle.


In order to avoid invalidating the testing we get out of late Nightly 
and to ensure that we can roll out 81 Betas to a wider audience with 
confidence, we'd like to ask that any risky changes be avoided from 
Thursday August 20 until after the version bump to 82 on August 24.


Some reminders for the soft code freeze period:

Do:
- Be ready to back out patches that cause crash spikes, new crashes, 
severe regressions

- Monitor new regressions and escalate merge blockers
- Support release management by prioritizing fixing of merge blockers

Do Not:
- Land a risky patch or a large patch
- Land new features (that affect the current Nightly version) — be 
mindful that code behind NIGHTLY_BUILD or RELEASE_OR_BETA ifdefs can 
lead to unexpected CI results
- Flip prefs that enable new Features that were untested in the Nightly 
cycle

- Plan to kick off new experiments that might impact a feature's merge
readiness

Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.

Thanks,
Sebastian & the Release Management team
