On Tuesday, 9 August we reached the Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable). At this milestone all the F37 Changes should be testable, which is indicated by "MODIFIED" status of a tracking bug. A Bugzilla query shows all the tracking bugs which are not in "MODIFIED" state and are not considered testable. System-Wide Changes with the contingency date in bold are past the stated contingency date.

These changes are presented for FESCo review to determine what action, if any, should be taken. The next deadline is 23 August when all changes should be 100% code complete.
