I agree that we should make sure that we are testing the configuration(s) that users are using, and that Linux distros might be using a different configuration than what we're testing. That is a separate issue of whether the right configuration is PGO or not. If PGO is the fastest and Linux distributors are not distributing PGO builds, then we should help the distros start doing PGO builds. IMO we should help Linux distributors use the configuration we're testing, and (only) when we we're successful at that should the result be called "Firefox." I don't mean that we should dictate a configuration; rather, we should work together with the Linux packagers so we all agree on the optimal, supported, build configuration, and then incorporate that into the trademark rules.
