Happy new year from the stockwell team!  We have been busy triaging bugs and 
getting the test-verify job to be fine tuned for all platforms and test suites.

If you want to read about what we plan to do in the near future, you can follow 
along in this tracking bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1428828

One change I wanted to make everyone aware of is the threshold we use to set 
the whiteboard tag: [stockwell disable-recommended].  For the last 4 months 
that has been 200 failures in 30 days.  We look at this whiteboard tag twice a 
week and focus on those bugs- basically if there isn't signs of an upcoming 
patch we disable the test to reduce the pain on the trees.

What I would like to change on January 15th, is the threshold so that it is 150 
failures over 21 days.  In analyzing data over the last 4 months there would 
have been 2 bugs which we would have disabled which ended up getting fixed a 
week later- the rest of the bugs had active development taking place and would 
have been fixed/resolved as they were normally.

The advantage of doing this is we would disable tests 9 days faster, reducing 
failures on the tree and more importantly fewer failures on your try pushes 
with almost the exact same end result.

Please reply if you have concerns or other ideas we should consider.
