1766801 - [meta] Prepare out-of-tree code for ESM-ification

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XPConnect, task)

Description

[Tooru Fujisawa [:arai]]

There are some not-in-tree (mozilla-central, comm-central) consumer of JSM (Cu.import, ChromeUtils.import), and they needs to be rewritten during ESM-ification.

The shim code mentioned in bug 1766761 should help not to break during transition, but
the rewrite is necessary anyway at some timing.

So far, the following will be affected:

• Firefox extensions that uses experiments
  • this requires privileged signature. so there won't be many
  • some of https://github.com/mozilla-extensions/
• AutoConfig script
  • written by users (enterprise case etc)
  • needs detailed documentation for rewrite
  • needs some cycles compatible both with before/after
• Thunderbird extensions
  • experiments API is available for all extensions
  • needs detailed documentation for rewrite (can be share the content with AutoConfig?)
  • needs some cycles compatible both with before/after

The meta keyword is there, the bug doesn't depend on other bugs and there is no activity for 12 months.
:sefeng, maybe it's time to close this bug?

looks like there's nothing to do in bugzilla.
it will be handled as documentation, announcements, and some PRs on other repositories.
