Bryan, Andrew, DavidA, and I spent a bunch of time looking at the
important UX pieces that still haven't landed, and we came to the
conclusion that we don't have enough real feedback and polish on two
significant, high priority UX bugs to just land them and hope for
the best.
<br>
<br>
Since shipping b2 is a non-trivial amount of overhead, and the
current set of UX-exposed changes in b2 is small enough that we
wouldn't get a tremendous amount of high-value feedback by shipping
what we have today, we're going to slip 3.1b2 somewhat.
<br>
<br>
Rather than set another arbitrary date before we have feedback, the
current plan looks like this:<br>
<br>
* land the migration assistant very soon (I'll let Bryan comment on
when) and set up a test day to get feedback
<br>
<br>
* do some final polish work on the quick search / global search
separation extension in <h<a class="__firefox_bugidhelper">ttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545955</a>>
and blog about it requesting feedback<br>
<br>
After we've got that feedback, we'll then set our new 3.1b2 date.
If we're sufficiently lucky, it'll be very quick, and we'll just
need to make small changes and land the extension once the feedback
comes in. But if we feel that the feedback prompts non-trivial
changes, it could be longer.<br>
