Comment 1

WIP NOTES

Also required is a permissions bump for WIFI scanning. I missed a key detail earlier that the WIFI scanning permission is turned off in release. Doh! A permissions bump is scheduled for 34.j

Bug 1024708 - essentially done.

Bug 1030949 - additional freq. controls in prefs, not technically a blocker.

Bug 1030948 - limit the number of stumbles, easy fix, do this next
* make sure MLS key is passed to stumbler, easy fix also

Bug 1036514 - about:config to turn on debug, will be critical for QA to see that stumbling is working.

N.B., assuming that these require new strings, these won't make 34, unless you've already sweet-talked Pike into an exception from the usual process.

I want to get stumbler active in the Nightly and Aurora train for Firefox 34. Which requires only 
 bug 1054520 (and its Robocop buddy: bug 1060705). [And off in Release and Beta in the 34 train.]

For the remaining loose ends, the opt-in and the permissions bump, that means the Firefox 35 Release and Beta train.

I *think* that will work, although if you detect process smell, let me know.
