ANGLE doesn't allow WARP on DXGI < 1.2 by default, but it will work fine for us.

Awesome.

It looks like this has the side-effect of enabling D3D11 ANGLE on our Windows 7 test machines. It's an open question as to whether we want to do this. I expect this change will probably have a negative stability impact.
This should give us D3D11 ANGLE on older versions of Windows 7 which will give a performance benefit.

Don't forget to regenerate based on changes to mochitest-errata. I don't see that done here.

Allow D3D11 without DXGI 1.2

Approval Request Comment
[User impact if declined]: Fewer people get WebGL
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: Has been on Nightly for a while.
[Risks and why]: This introduces a new code path. I want to uplift this to Aurora but avoid having it ride the trains so that we get a longer period of test coverage and can get more telemetry data. Taking this will not reduce our coverage of another code path very much as currently these users will just fail to get WebGL.

Backed out for the same kinds of mochitest-gl failures that got this backed out from inbound the first time around.

Awesome, just update the markings. These are good 'unexpected pass'es.
Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]:
[Suggested wording]: Windows 7 computers without Platform Update can now use D3D11 WARP.
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]:

Relnote 49+ added "Windows 7 computers without Platform Update can now use D3D11 WARP"
This relnote should actually move from 49 to 48.
