1617183 - Stop removing `fogotype.pid` temp dirs before March 2020

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, task, P1)

Description

[Chris H-C :chutten]

In bug 1611247 we added code to remove stray fogotype.pid temp dirs. These dirs were only created by Nightly, so a few days'/one week's worth of nightlies ought to be enough to clean up most of them.

(( any remaining tempdirs are small and harmless and can either be removed manually by affected users or automatically by OS cleanup processes/tools. ))

The important thing here is that we don't want this code to escape to Beta. Not because it'll cause problems, but because it's unnecessary.

Is this a long enough time period? I don't check my Thunderbird that often, maybe once a week or every two weeks. This bug is only 7 days old. I would say give it a month at least.

Yes, this should be long enough. If I recall correctly from the last time I checked, 90% of the Nightly population is on a build at most 2 days old (a little higher over weekends)
