    • These next 4 testing / QA tasks aren't strictly a blocker yet, but will quickly become blockers as we are aiming to roll out Parsoid/PHP for all live traffic in the coming weeks (before Thanksgiving). Some teams are already working on them, but just flagging them all here for completeness' sake - thanks to you all for addressing them.
