It seems like some of the smaller visible UI changes
could probably ship in 55/56 without needing a pref.
Users probably won't notice some of the UI polish
features until everything is into place in 57.
Shipping these smaller bits in 55/56 would give us
more testing. <br>

Can you elaborate on this? What are "small visible UI
changes" that users "won't notice"? I'm skeptical these
even exists, looking at (for instance) things like <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345989" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s<wbr>how_bug.cgi?id=1345989</a>
. <a href="https://xkcd.com/1172/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://xkcd.com/1172/</a>
comes to mind... And yes, of course these are extreme
examples, but I'm also looking at the mockups I've seen
and thinking I don't see anything that falls in the "small
polish" category in our main theming & structural
changes.</blockquote>

I fail to understand what is "literal" about my reading and how
yours is less so, and I'm disappointed that you're turning an honest

I wouldn't have thought that changing the icons over to the Photon
icon set would be something we'd do before 57, as that's pretty
noticeable.<br>

(To be clear, I'm not arguing that we shouldn't do this stuff prior
to 57 if people are on board with it, but to me this is a surprising
example of "small changes".)<span class="m_-3541295394843722769gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></blockquote><div><br> </div></span></div>From what I've seen the icons are a bit sharper and thinner, but in the grand scheme of things it's a rather subtle and incremental change.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">dao<br></div></div>
