The preprocessor was a perfectly good replacement for the way we used overlays
used in the Firefox UI - it makes it easier to look at a document and figure
out which resources are going to be loaded into it. Work to simplify our chrome
documents (including reducing preprocessing) can now be done from a foundation
where we know which documents will be affected by changes.
