1282143 - Consolidate Build Config components

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1406536

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

There are multiple "Build Config" components throughout Bugzilla. Core :: Build Config is the main one. For historical reasons, there exist some one-off "Build Config" components related to Firefox/Gecko development that add little to no value.

I am requesting the following components be consolidated into Core :: Build Config:

Firefox :: Build Config
Firefox for Metro :: Build Config
Toolkit :: Build Config

Please move all bugs in the aforementioned components into "Core :: Build Config" and delete the then defunct components from Bugzilla.

Please do not act on this bug until at least 2016-06-29 (so there is time for people to raise objections).

Might as well fold Firefox for Android :: Build Config and IDE Support into Core :: Build Config as well.

For the record, I've nothing against this plan.

Just clear the needinfo when ready to move on this to keep it off our radar in the meantime.
