Yes it does, I'm currently looking at a good way to improve mozregression
ASAP, which has been partially broken since the opt->pgo work mentioned
above.

This is tracked in 1532412
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1532412> and whatever
solution we get there should be translatable for shippable and make this
easy.

I'm hoping to touch base with :wlach soon so we can figure out a good
solution to this code.
