294695 - nsIContentPolicy API not compatible with aviary branch

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

Someone backported API changes to aviary, and not 1.7.

We either need to back out the aviary version, or port the patch to 1.7.

Moving onto the radar for 1.7.9

Scott did this, and Thunderbird depends on it to fix bug 216133.  Up to him how
he wants to deal with this...

This is a big scary change in core code that I'm _really_ not happy putting on
1.7.  There's a lot of potential for getting it wrong, breaking existing
consumers (some work with both APIs, like adblock, but others could get broken),
breaking 1.7 embeddors, etc.

Of course at this point we have the same problems with changing it on aviary.  

So I suspect the best course of action here is to bite the bullet, leave things
as they are, and move on with getting a new stable version out there...

What Boris said for the stable branches, we can live with it vs. the risk of
changes.

Compatible on trunk so closing.
