async testing for NPF to be announced, no event planned Chris will announce it before he goes on vacation

1.20 deployment[edit]

remains routine (this is slightly scary, it's TOO quiet) Chris wants to work on this as a medium priority - what coverage do we have with unit tests? and what steps can we take to make deployments more risky
