I think release-drivers should be aware that this is currently the
leading option; I'm not sure who should make the final call here,
but probably somebody a bit more informed about testpilot than I am.
Disabling it on mozilla-central should be an option too!
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719455 was a bad memory
leak caused by Test Pilot that took *10 months* to fix, basically
because it's development is moribund. And now it's causing another
problem. And it's not being used in any useful capacity... you can
probably tell what I think should happen to it.
The testpilot extension is already disabled on trunk (which of course
doesn't mean that users cannot go ahead and install it manually.)
Cheers,
Ehsan
