Once bug 1342450 lands, regular (non-QR) nightly builds will have WebRender built-in, can can run in Super Duper Quantum Mode if the gfx.webrender.enabled pref is set to true.

For automation, this means we should switch our test jobs from running on the QR builds to running on the non-QR builds with the pref set. This will allow us to decommission the "special" QR builds which are no different from the regular builds except for a pref flip.
Dipping my toe in the water here, got crashtests running on a Linux64 build which has webrender built-in but not enabled: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=f1e7fd5fb5d9197b0e074b77bc01ed66630f4bc5

It doesn't look like you ever actually set a task attribute here -- just an entry in the test description.  I think the implemenetation below is correct, but please remove this documentation for a nonexistent attribute.

Not at the moment, no. Eventually we'll want it on android too but probably not this year at least.

Ah, sorry about that. I'm not too clear on the different types of properties, and this probably got left in from an earlier version of these patches where it was complaining about missing the attribute in the rst file. I'll update the patch to remove that.
