I've learnt to cope with the burnout by limiting my time in gecko at .
A lot of users want an up-to-date browser (unlike www/chromium ;),
so the process is optimized towards that goal. For example, getting users
interested to test updates before landing (e.g., during Beta phase) is
near impossible. By pushing RCs to /latest early /quarterly users get
more stable updates.

Do you have a better strategy herding the cats? There's no fish here to
make someone do the boring work.
