compare this to the rooted Android ecosystem. People who develop for
that environment know that they have no official support, and their
apps are never going to reach a broad user base.. People who setup
that environment know that things are going to be unstable, and apps
are going to break. But for one reason or another, it's worth it to

Slight difference is that rooted-Android users were always in this
situation, while things will degrade for Firefox Nightly users.
They'll degrade for Firefox nightly users one way or the other.
The ones who want to continue using legacy add-ons will need to
opt into continuing to use them as an unsupported feature. The
ones that don't opt in will simply lose those add-ons.
