I don't think this will be a big deal. Note that users will also be able to run legacy addons (which can access xpcom) in Nightly with a preference flipped. We've tried to be clear in communication to extension developers that once 57 comes around, we won't be making any efforts to keep internal interfaces stable for addons so they shouldn't be surprised when interfaces change. I would hope that if we have promising or widely used webextension experiments, that the relevant peers would be aware of them when reviewing changes that might affect them but of course changing IDL bindings is only one of a number of ways that a change to central could break an existing experiment. This is one of the drawbacks of having out-of-tree code, I think its up to us (the webextensions maintainers) to either deal with this or get experiments worked into automation if this becomes a real problem in practice.
Whoa. Experiments aren't tested in automation? Can they be, please? At least snapshotted versions. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
