Only inasmuch as the compiler and build machinery continues to work, but it uses most of the same code as the Windows PGO builds, save the compiler/linker flags, and those aren't terribly complicated and I don't expect them to break if we turn the builds off. I don't really have an opinion about this otherwise, I agree that most Linux users aren't using our builds anyway. -Ted _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
