We may want to add this to the checklist too; we only have "Verify throttling" there.

Evidently we want to file them in Server Ops: Web Operations now.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:NThomas:AUS_throttling is an old doc that might provide some content, or at least background. The examples at the bottom probably aren't very illuminating.

Good point. I'm going to make mods to the live docs and then I'll link to the diffs so folks can review them.

Largely lifted from nthomas' user page, here's the doc updates I made:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Release%3ARelease_Automation_on_Mercurial%3AUpdates_through_Shipping&action=historysubmit&diff=469401&oldid=468605
https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Releases%2FRelEngChecklist&action=historysubmit&diff=469402&oldid=465873

Note that I moved "Verify Throttling" to be after pushsnip on the Checklist, because that's our standard procedure now (as opposed to throttling out-the-gate).

Hal, I'd be interested in your thoughts on these edits too. Do they make sense to you?

I haven't heard any objections to my edits, so I'm optimistically calling this FIXED. Please re-open if there's something you feel I need to address.
