Update: This is now on autoland, so please start using the new workflow. Thanks to Greg and Manish for pushing it over the line!
The crashtest job is currently failing - I can't tell whether it's a one-off (in which case we should disable the crashtest and file a bug) or whether it portends more failures that we should probably look into directly. I'll investigate soon if nobody else does before then. Let's try to get our test jobs green so that we can keep them tier-2.
