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.
... And that's impossible because of all of the final classes we have
these days. Filed bug 1114999 to write a static analysis for this instead.
