I'm looking to remove the option to build mozilla-central without Skia.
Currently we default to Skia being disabled, and enable it using --enable-skia. This is problematic because all of our officially supported build configurations enable Skia, and as such the Skia-is-disabled build has been buggy for quite some time. This has manifested most recently in bug 1296524.
In the past year, Skia has moved from being an optional part of our graphics code to being a core, indispensable module. We are actively pursuing making it the default backend in almost all canvas and content configurations; it is already the default software canvas option on all platforms and will soon be for all software-backed content as well.
To this end, I'd like to remove support for building mozilla-central without Skia as I think it should now be considered an integral part of our code.
