Deprecating and adding counters seems meaningful. It's not supported
across all browsers and it seems unlikely to ever be successful. If we
can make that clear to more folks by console warnings and some
outreach that seems like a good thing to do for the web.

Safari still supporting it is somewhat worrisome. We're in the process
of implementing and standardizing many -webkit- features due to
Safari's dominance on mobile.


Do you think it is already worth to flag it as deprecated in the MDN 
documentation as Google plans to remove it too?


Or should we wait until we add a message in the console when met (I 
guess that is what will happen). [In that case don't forget the 
dev-doc-need on that bug ;-) ]

Re: Mozilla will stop producing automated builds of XULRunner after the 41.0 cycle

[Teoli]

Ben, I have updated: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/XULRunner


Can you double check it?

Hi folks,

XULRunner is a runtime package that can be used to run XUL+XPCOM based
applications. Automated builds of it have been produced alongside
Firefox since 2006, but it has not been a supported or resourced product
for many years. We've continued to produce automated builds of it
because its build process also happens to build the Gecko SDK, which we
do support and maintain. This will change soon, and we'll start building
the Gecko SDK from Firefox instead (bug 672509). This work will land on
mozilla-central during the 42.0 cycle, which means that when the 41.0
cycle ends (September 22, 2015), automated builds of XULRunner will cease.

If you are a consumer of the Gecko SDK this means very little to you --
we will continue to produce it with every Firefox release.

If you are a consumer of the XULRunner stub this means that you will no
longer have a Mozilla produced version after 41.0. For folks in this
group, you have two options:
* Change your app to run through the stub provided by Firefox. Many apps
will continue to work as before by simply replacing xulrunner.exe
application with firefox -app application.ini.
* Build XULRunner yourself.

- Ben
