I'd like to see the removal of the modelines also. A root config file is much cleaner.

For the widest possible support of editors, I'd love to see a root .editorconfig file. See http://editorconfig.org/ - it's an editor-neutral config, with plugins for many editors/IDEs (including Emacs, Vim, SublimeText, etc). And it supports different settings for different filetypes, so we can have different settings for C++, JS, CSS, etc.

5. Remove modelines from mozilla-central files

I'm happy with removal of modelines provided .dir-locals.el files
are added to provide the same functionality.

There is imported code in mozilla-central that will not be
reformatted.

Also, removal the functionality would add another deterrent to new
contributors, or others, who like edit code outside
mozilla-central.
