RDF
I'm all for this, although the risk is probably quite small because we
don't expose RDF to content.
Bug 833098 - Kick RDF out of Firefox
Comments in the bug suggest a build-time flag because Thunderbird needs
on RDF.
Thunderbird doesn't really want RDF either. However, killing RDF in
Thunderbird has been a slow process. If there's anyone who wants to help
kill RDF in Thunderbird, go for it!

An attempt to remove a piece was thwarted here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796234#c22
And while the goals of that patch were implemented elsewhere, Tb is
still building the unused rdf file, due to shared code:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797412
Expecting someone to come in and do this sort of maintenance coding,
into an environment without product management or drivers, and a
governance structure that prevents such, or even the possibility of a
timely review, I believe is wishful thinking. Tb's problems are best
evidenced by the patch (of any kind) rate submission over the last year,
since its 'decommissioning'.
