Hi, I recently became the module owner of Prefs, and there are several peers. In the past it was an ill-maintained module, but that is no longer the case.
I have been doing a bunch of work to improve Prefs. As part of this I wrote a document that describes how they currently work, and some of their problems: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V5Wc9bXwfgMG2JOsswvDPVwZl_xiaSBxwJXf3fiEaU8/ I am working on a redesign that will fix a lot of the problems. There was a meeting about this in Austin. I hope to implement this in Q1 2018. By chance, I just discovered that a new DOMPreferences class has been created in bug 1419771. As far as I can tell, it was created and reviewed by DOM peers without any input from Prefs peers. Although the changes are all within dom/, it was still an unpleasant surprise, because this is an additional thing I'm going to have to deal with in my redesign, on top of the existing gfxPrefs and MediaPrefs classes. If you have changes related to Prefs, please let me (or another Prefs peer) know about it. Thanks.
