The leave-open keyword is there and there is no activity for 6 months.
:sdetar, maybe it's time to close this bug?

:ptomato, Should this bug still be left with the leave-open keyword?

:sdetar - It really depends on whether Mozilla can devote some resources to this. I can't modify your release management process :-)
If this is not likely to be done from your side, then it may as well be closed.
Here are the items I suggested from earlier in the conversation, the first one is the most important here:
- [ ] Have a plan for ESR updates and point releases - For what it's worth it would be great if this plan was even just "manually upload a tarball at some well-defined interval to a public FTP such as https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/spidermonkey"
The remaining items would be nice to have, but could maybe be moved to separate bugs:
- [ ] Put warnings at the top of MDN docs - this would be nice to have, as the SpiderMonkey API information on MDN is now quite outdated and misleading, but maybe we could open a separate bug for this
- [x] Doing some cleanup in jsapi.h of docs and structure might be helpful to embedders who must turn to code for answers - tcampbell has been doing this, improved the situation a lot
- [ ] Fail the standalone build if configured without --disable-jemalloc (bug 1465038) - sfink or someone else could weigh in on this bug, if it was likely to be accepted then I would write the patch.

I'll try and turn this into a meta-bug so the relman bots leave us alone. Thanks for the great summary Philip!
Additional data points:
- We are be migrated away from MDN (as it becomes a resource for the Web at-large instead of firefox-specific) and those docs should probably just deleted. I took at archive of the wikis already.

What's the status of this bug now that ESR60 has reached EOL status?

I think it can be renamed to "Prepare a SpiderMonkey ESR68 standalone version", here's what's remaining from the above checklist:
- [ ] Have a plan for ESR updates and point releases - For what it's worth it would be great if this plan was even just "manually upload a tarball at some well-defined interval to a public FTP such as https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/spidermonkey"
- [ ] Either put warnings or delete the outdated MDN pages on the SpiderMonkey API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey and subpages, especially https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_reference

Ted, can you comment on whether we should close this bug or leave it open

ESR 68 is way too old for us to tarball -- closing as WONTFIX.
