And the (outdated?) timeline ( http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozilla_2 ) is to ship Fx4/Moz2 at best in Q12009, so if after the tooling is there it can be parallelized, it should work.

As it stands I have to write the tools and only then everybody else should drop what they are doing and fix their part of the code (which I admit wouldn't take too long). I'm guessing it'd take me 4months to get the tooling done. This would be during or after XPCOMGC work. I don't think a long delay is what we want for moz2 as it would delay the release further. OOM handling on the other hand is a nice babystep to start from and if that turns out easier than expected could always decide to do the rest of the rewrite. Robert,
