Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
I think it would be good for the pref controlling whether @supports is enabled to have a third state (the default) which means "false in Release, Beta or ESR, true otherwise".  Here's a patch that does that.  WDYT?  If it's a good approach maybe we can apply it to the other experimental features behind prefs.

I check both boolean and int values because some people may have already explicitly set the pref to true in their profiles.

I'd rather do this sort of thing at build-time rather than run-time.

I'm also not sure it'll do the right thing for things like Linux-distro builds.

OK, we can do it with some preprocessing on all.js then.

Though I admit to not understanding how the addition to PREF_PPFLAGS in build/Makefile.in in https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/7286dac15291 affects the preprocessing of all.js...

Yeah, but I don't see why setting something in build/Makefile.in would have any effects beyond build/Makefile.in (as opposed to doing something in config.mk or rules.mk, which gets included in every makefile).
(If you've tested that it works, I'll believe you, but I'm suspicious.)
I had tested this, but I am double checking now.
You are right, it doesn't work.  I must have switched makefile and not re-tested properly.
ok, probably best to continue this discussion in bug 820148.
Bug 820148 landed again.
