Details
Bug 1705372 is removing a locale from one of the search engine definitions that live here:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/search/extensions
The issue is that the symlink is left in place, and the Add-ons Manager sees that, assumes it is still a valid locale, then fails to load it.
This breaks running some of the search related tests, as well as breaking some search engines loaded in profiles.

The search engine WebExtensions will be going away soon (see bug this depends on), so this will be less of an issue. We do have other in-tree WebExtensions, but I believe their localisation is handled differently.

search-config-v2 is now shipping. The associated WebExtensions are going to stay in the tree for a while because of limitations of the add-on manager, but we won't be changing them. Hence marking this as wontfix.
