Thanks Trevor.

@everyone

I am no longer monitoring Google Tracker (https://code.google.com) for
any updates or patch updates. It's just my inbox and Rietveld.

Also for the sake of reg test diffs - you cannot attach pictures to
Rietveld, so I'll provide a link to google drive download (or something
like that) for screen shots or in the case where the reg test diffs are
'large' the link to the compressed test-results dir.
