Replying to [comment:4 mcs]:
> Your patches look OK. But to avoid user confusion, it would be better
to remove the health report feature entirely. Inclusion seems to be
triggered by MOZ_SERVICES_HEALTHREPORT=1 and it looks like we would have
to patch browser/confvars.sh or add a new configure option to disable it.
A similar argument can be made for disabling MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING.
I was thinking about that while looking for a way to fix this issue
(MOZ_DATA_REPORTING might come to mind here as well?). But what I fear is
weird breakage as this is a non-standard way of building Firefox which
might not be supported at all. I thought this might be a bit risky at
least for the stable one. The other reason why I am a bit reluctant is
that I want to get our patch queue shorter and not longer :).
But generally, yes, if users are confused about that we should think about
getting rid of these features at compile time.
