Ideally, I'd like to favor this patch over the one I proposed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=976334 - since it has been tried and tested for so long...and that just adds another use case for this: ease of locking preferences for android distributions (which aren't as straightforward when it comes to specifying the autoconfig file in the install directory)

Is it just a matter of having someone sign off on it, or were there outstanding concerns outside of the syntax? It seemed like it kind of just got dropped due to time constraints 2+ years ago, but that there now are actually some compelling use cases for it.

Can't the fact that it's been needed and used by Debian for so long be an indication of the stability and/or utility of the patch? just an appeal to *someone* to perhaps move this along...

Aside from that, :glandium - how often does this patch "break"...that is, how many times have you had to rework it because of changes in the upstream code? I ask because I actually would consider applying this patch and using it in my own distribution - even if it never lands.
