1668661 - Unship Intel gen6 GT2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, defect)

Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

It turns out we haven't shipped to older intel generations because our driver block list accidentally blocked them. To reduce risk in 82 let's turn Gen6 back off.

Attachment: Bug 1668661. Don't let Intel gen6 ride the trains.

We accidentally didn't let later generations ride
so lets remain a bit conservative and not let gen6 ride
until 83
