Folks,

As you may be aware, Fennec has been frozen on 68 ESR with the expectation
that Fenix will become the new Firefox for Android in 2020. For reasons of
hygiene and simplification, I propose that we begin removing Fennec from
mozilla-central as soon as feasible. There are a few known blockers
currently being tracked under bug 1582218. If you know of any other issues,
please let me know and/or file blockers.

Obviously, we will not be removing anything related to GeckoView. This
means that mobile/android/geckoview/, MOZ_WIDGET_ANDROID, etc. will all be
sticking around. Only the Fennec frontend and any platform code that needed
to disambiguate Fennec from GeckoView at runtime[0] will be targeted.

Thanks,
James
