In an earlier version of the patch there was a warning for any user of the old localstore API but Neil suggested to remove it. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

I mean an rule in the AMO automated checking/validation system: normally they are simple grep rules to detect that an addon is using an obsolete interface or code pattern. This will warn on new addon uploads; it's also used sometime near release to warn addon authors about potentially breaking changes. Talk to Jorge about the details of getting this kind of rule added to the validator. --BDS ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Re: Deprecating localstore.rdf
This is certainly a big one, but https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=833098maxdepth=1hide_resolved=1 suggests we will still need to worry about mimeTypes.rdf and install.rdf/update.rdf, unfortunately...

As far as I know nothing in Thunderbird or SeaMonkey talks directly to localstore.rdf. As long as the APIs remain the same (and perhaps some shims) it shouldn't matter if the backend is using RDF or JSON or SQLite.
