new spidermonkey in 3.8?

[Frederic Peters <fpeters gnome org>]

Hi!

About memory leaks in gnome-shell, Jasper just wrote in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642652#c145,

  This is partially a SpiderMonkey bug. If all the dates align just
  right, we may be able to fix this for 3.8.

This would happen by updating to js188, the appropriate changes to gjs
are already ready,
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690982

But there is no js188 tarball yet,
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735599

At this time, if a tarball happened, would we accept such a change in
3.8?  I am of the opinion it didn't have enough widespread testing,
and that we shouldn't update.

What about you?
