I'm not sure if this will be a permanent thing, or just for the current testing that we're planning to do for beta46, but it was asked for this during today's meeting.

The reason is because there's another experiment planned for now (bug 1248813) which explicitly targets getting stability and performance data, so it would be bad to mix those numbers with e10s usage.
Summary: Make the system add-on skip users of experiments → Put users currently running an experiment into "disqualified" cohort

You can also do:

    let { Experiments } = Cu.import("...", {});
