+Release Status Flags
+====================
+
+The flag ``status_firefoxNN`` has many values, here’s a cheat sheet.
+
+== ========== ========== ============ =================
+— ? unaffected affected fixed
+== ========== ========== ============ =================
+? unaffected wontfix verified
+\ affected fix-optional disabled
+\ fixed verified disabled
+== ========== ========== ============ =================
+
+The headers of the table are values of the status flag. Each column are
+the states reachable from the column headings.
+
+- ``---`` we don’t know whether Firefox N is affected
+- ``?`` we don’t know whether Firefox N is affected, but we want to find
+ out.
+- ``affected`` - present in this release
+- ``unaffected`` - not present in this release
+- ``fixed`` - a contributor has landed a change set in the tree
+ to address the issue
+- ``verified`` - the fix has been verified by QA or other contributors
+- ``disabled`` - the fix or the feature has been backed out or disabled
+- ``verified disabled`` - QA or other contributors confirmed the fix or
+ the feature has been backed out or disabled
+- ``wontfix`` - we have decided not to accept/uplift a fix for this
+ release cycle (it is not the same as the bug resolution WONTFIX).
+ This can also mean that we don’t know how to fix that and will ship
+ with this bug
+- ``fix-optional`` - we would take a fix for the current release but
+ don’t consider it as important/blocking for the release
