Sorry, I disagree here. I don't completely disagree though, so bear with me :) I think the best way to find bugs and regressions is exposing the changes to users. _of course_ we need to make sure we don't badly break the phone first. But users of the master branch will have regressions. That's normal and expected. Any big feature will get at least a handful of regressions. Our goal is to track them and fix them, before we ship to less technical/less engaged users. IMO that's why we wanted the dogfood process in the first place. If you want that dogfooders don't get the master regressions, then don't use the master branch. BTW I personally think we should let the dogfooders choose between "master-dogfood" and "aurora-dogfood" branches. Now, I guess you're afraid that we're losing dogfooders, even those on master that are aware they can get issues. Big news, they don't leave the program because an app takes 2x memory. Users don't even see it. You can look at the list of foxfood bugs [1], very few bugs have "slow" or "performance" in their summary. So please don't mix and confuse topics and concerns. The performance concern is important, but it's not what puts dogfooders at risk.
