I think removing implicit conversions to T* will make a

That might, in turn, encourage people to do worse things
to avoid having to write .get() everywhere; it's worth
thinking about what those things will be.
Do you have any examples of those bad things? (FWIW I'm
all for making bad things impossible.)
* using raw pointers instead of smart pointers
I am planning on making that impossible [*] in 2015.
I presume you mean making direct calls to AddRef and Release
impossible, and not raw pointers in general.
Well, I did pick that project up but for some reason it was never
finished (don't remember what.) But that's not what I was talking
about. See bug 1114683 for an example of what I was talking
about.
It was finished, and then reverted. For reference:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666414>,
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710473>.
Ah, right. I'll see if I can reland this now with some compiler
upgrades that have happened since then.
