Before we move MirrorManager2 to prod, here is what I think would be nice to do/have:
- Pickle validation
to the mirrorlist boxes
- Figure a way to validate a pickle after its creation and before moving it
- Find out if we can improve our tests some more (to improve our confidence that we're ready)
- Engage the mirror mailing list and try to get them to react on the coming changes
The pickle validation might also be an interesting idea to check if there is a difference between the pickle generated by prod and the one generated in stg.

I'd like to help move this along to production. I have very limited knowledge of the MM codebase, but I did attend the MM FAD, so I have at least a vague understanding of how it works. Are there any changes to these lists since last week? What might be productive to work on? Like I said, my knowledge is limited, but pickle validation sounds like a pretty general Python task. Maybe I could look into that?
None of these things have progressed over the last week. Clearly the three points at the top have the most priority for MM2 (imo) and the pickle validation might be tricky (how to test it) but is something I really think I want to have before we switch.
I found out this morning that I have a couple of files around mirrormanager's pickle, might be useful, maybe not but here they are :)
Apparently I have been comparing MM1 and MM2 pickles at one point :)
