Details

We are currently setting up the Gecko preference <-> Nimbus experimentation framework.

It would be nice if Nimbus stored Gecko pref information both for new and reverting prefs. Right now, the information on pref value to set always comes back as strings. (For example, an int pref is sent over as "5".) Because of this, we have to confirm with Gecko the actual type information.

There is a possibility we could cut out having to ask Gecko type information if we sent it along or adjusted the data types. However, checking the Gecko type is also safer.

This isn't blocking the main Nimbus - Gecko pref experiment flow, but is more something to consider for the backlog. More information in this diff and overall in 2012763.
