Thank you for the link, but I don't understand the chart at all. I know what the first column is -- those are dates. I don't understand any of the other columns. What are Trunk, Aurora, Beta, and Release? They're not dates... For example, one row (chosen at random) says:
Date Trunk Aurora Beta Release June 29th 42 default (working on m7/m8) 41 prompt 40 off 39 off ...with no explanations, built-in quick links, or even tooltips. That could all be ancient Greek to me. Anybody care to explain? I suppose I could spend a few days going through the long, long list of similarly mysterious "reference" links at the bottom of the page, in an attempt to decipher what the hell they're talking about, but I don't have time for that. Also no list of compatible/incompatible extensions, but it sounds like they're putting the onus on extension developers. And "A black list of clients known to have issues with e10s will be added for roll out to Aurora and beyond." What the heck does that mean? And how long will I be able to turn off e10s for? And does turning it off mean all currently working extensions will continue to work? I'm sure it all makes sense to somebody who's already familiar with the jargon and issues, but that's the classic mistake bad tech writers make. As someone who's been doing technical writing for clients for many years... this is tech writing at its worst.
