For what it's worth, I found the old code coverage data useful.  It
was useful to me to browse through it for code that I was
responsible for, to see:
 * what code was being executed during our test runs and how that
   matched with what I thought was being tested (it didn't always
   match, it turns out)
 * what areas might be in need of better tests
When I was looking at it, I was mostly focusing on the mochitests in
layout/style/test/.

(I worry I might have been one of a very small number of people
doing this, though.)

I think using code coverage tools separately on standards-compliance
test suites might also be interesting, e.g., to see what sort of
coverage the test suite for a particular specification gives us, and
whether there are tests we could contribute to improve it.
