Feature activations should be set as enhancement bugs. Alastor, I guess this should be included in our 145 release notes? Could you request it? Thanks.

Note added to the Web Platform section of our nightly release notes with this wording:

Added Matroska support for the most commonly used codecs: AVC, HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1, AAC, Opus, and Vorbis.

I am keeping the release-firefox tracking flag set to ? until we include this note into our final release notes in November. Thanks!
