Monitoring things that only build on a nightly basis has proven to be terribly difficult. Nightly only jobs (that don't have equivalent CI jobs) are hidden on treeherder/tbpl, and issues tend to go unnoticed for weeks. Bustage to jobs like this isn't usually cause for backouts either. I'm not saying we shouldn't do this, but I just want to make it known that while it will improve the situation, it's unlikely to get us back to a place where builds will always work on 32-bit Windows. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
