https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=gcli-removal is a link to the patch that removed the gcli, it interestingly has a link to a spreadsheet that shows how much each command was used @ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zrdm-V9WAQ11I5oxfqCt_M0VvF24NEWnT93VrzPRglU/edit#gid=578856175

Surprisingly restart is the #1 command, there are some comments reflecting some confusion at why, not surprisingly screenshot is very high on the list, gcli was somewhat more devtools orientated though as opposed to end user facing so I think there is a limit to how much we will want to bring over.

Bumping this down to P2 to get this off triage dashboards, given that the patch was abandoned. Dale, apologies if it should be kept at P1, please feel free to revert.
