We need that for components shipped by partners. Either a pref or something keyed on MOZ_B2G is fine for me.
Can you provide details about where partners are shipping these components? Is it only via distribution/bundles or via other mechanisms as well?

This seems like a really big hammer, and has more effects than just B2G.  Why not conditionalize the constant passed to XRE_AddManifestLocation, below?

The policy question of removing distribution/bundle support was handled in bug 1144127 and the remaining issue there was B2G. This patch fixes both problems at the same time.

Please just pass NS_APP_LOCATION for B2G and NS_EXTENSION_LOCATION everywhere else.  Essentially removing this function on non-B2G is outside the scope of this bug.
