You may have noticed a mini ruckus on the development list which lead

FESCo decision being needed about the Firefox 57 update ...
Eventually the update will hit F26 (and perhaps F25 depending on
timing)
and it will be a breaking experience for many users.
I suggested on the devel list that an article on FM giving a heads up
to
users would be beneficial - of course having made the suggest I'm
willing
to write it ;)
Since this is going to be a breaking experience and major change for
our
users, outside of the usual release scope, I think it important we
provide
early information in the magazine. I'll be providing a COPR tracking
FF57
until it eventually hits stable as well that users can make use of to
provide feedback.
How does everyone here feel about this?

I'm happy if you write that.
I had been corresponding with Martin and others elsewhere about this
very topic. James and Martin, we would really like to see a Magazine
article to give users a heads-up about what to expect, available
alternatives, and best practices to deal with extension breakage.
Thanks for your interest and help.
It's funny how timing can go :)
I'm putting together a draft now ... it'll probably take a few days and
then I'll put up a preview link for comments.
Okay I have a draft ready for review and comments.
The public preview link is:

Good article, Thanks!
ma.
The COPR is already in place ... I'll update the instructions bit on the
COPR to point to the article when we push it live.
