Hi Onno, The work was done in bug 1382749. The first post in this thread outlined what would be removed as a result of doing this - namely the upper right corner of the label in the add-on installation dialog as you mentioned. Note that as of bug 1366243 (shipping in 56), by default Gecko-based products don't trust any code-signing roots, so this wouldn't work as before even without removing the now-dead code.
