Hi,

what are the future prospects of the Log View add-on in view of the impending push for web extensions?

Come whatever version the actual deadline will be on Android, the add-on might or might not still run on Nightly/Aurora [1], but
- AMO will eventually stop hosting non-Web-Extensions add-ons
- it'll definitively won't run on Beta/Release

It would be sad to loose the capability of this add-on, since guiding people to simply install the add-on is much simpler than potentially having to instruct them on how to get ADB running, which is probably even more true for Beta or Release users. Also, the add-on doesn't require having to have a computer ready to dump the logs, which can be useful in getting logs for issues that are hard to reproduce.

[1] There are some statements floating around to the effect that only Beta/Release will enforce the ban of anything non-Webextension/non-System-Addon.
