Well yes it's possible since the codebase is shared, i never questioned
that.

My question was more about 'will thunderbird upstream try to experiment
enabling it for subsets of users like firefox does' - in that case
force-disabling it might make sense, but if thunderbird upstream has no
such plans (and, to my knowledge, this is the case) then i dont see the
point.
