Hi,

I just saw bug 787054 which is proposing adjusting our User Agent on a
per-site basis using a white list.  I didn't see a discussion about this
but would like to hear the reasoning behind it.

Maintaining a white list sounds like a lot of work (and doesn't scale
well).  Off the top of my head:

- Who is maintaining the list?  What are the criteria to get on the list?

- As a developer how do I get on/off the list?

- How does the list get updated?

- Is there a public submission to get sites on the list?

- Is there a strategy to get sites off the list?  (I assume we don't
want to maintain the list forever)

- How are we communicating this to developers?  If someone maintains
site.com (which is on the list) they will get different results visiting
dev.site.com which will be hard to track down.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Wil
