Daniel

ipv6 network identification code QUIC-team kicked off NEAT

Valentin

1151899 - integrate rust-url into necko

    - added new RustURL class which wrapps rust-url-capi
    - ability to unit test individually
    - nsStandardURL (may) has a reference to a RustURL object and forwards calls to it/compares the result

1310483 - [reviewing] adds query to nsSimpleURI

    - did a little refactoring
    - found several inconsistencies (bugs) in setter code
    - (small thought - it may be easier to replace this with RustURL than nsStandardURL - will investigate)

945240 - Consider making Location.href punycode non-ASCII hostnames

    - blocked on updating firefox UI code
    - prerequisite to using RustURL

1313095 - [landed] telemetry for RCWN
