Hello,

I'm following up on an action from our Firefox 20 Post-Mortem where it was 
discussed that it would be helpful to have a way to pref on a set of features 
that want to be in early Beta builds to garner feedback and audience reach but 
should not ship since they are not ready for public consumption.

Briefly reaching out on #developers identified that we could use a 
pre-processing flag in mozconfigs for early betas, something like #ifdef 
EARLY_BETA_ONLY_FEATURE in which case it seems to me the actions needed would 
be:

* Create and publicize to engineering & product teams the location for listing 
feature prefs that need enabling in early beta, but should not ship
* Create the  EARLY_BETA_ONLY_FEATURE flag and make sure it enables those prefs 
accordingly until we no longer include them in later beta mozconfigs
* Releng automation to switch/edit mozconfigs for earlier betas to check for 
this flag

Thoughts?  Feedback?  People willing to take on any of these items?  I'll file 
bugs on them soon once we've hashed out the best way to do this.

Cheers,
Lukas
