We do not want to support WebRender in ESR 68 so let's disable it for that version.

tracking68+ for now until we have esr68 tracking & status flags to use instead.

Comment 2

[Julien Cristau [:jcristau]]

We're going to need a patch for this this week.

Comment 3

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

We don't seem to have a way to conditionally compile code for ESR. Does anyone know of any precedent for turning things of for ESR?

Comment 4

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

Don't make it conditional. Just create a patch for disabling which we can land on only the ESR68 repo.

Comment 6

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

Would it make sense to not build it at all to save on binary size?

Comment 7

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

Possibly, but that's more invasive. I'm not sure if we still support building without webrender.
