Comment:

 I'm working through this using tbb android-components generated artifacts
 as dependencies. I haven't checked in the changes as I'm still working
 through but what I have found its

 We can modify buildSrc/src/main/java/Dependencies.kt to match android-
 components dependencies we build


 {{{
 const val mozilla_android_components = "36.0.0"
 }}}

 I removed a number of projects from android-components so those references
 have to be removed from as dependencies in app/build.gradle

 I also added legacy plugin support, same as in android-components

 The telemetry can be easily disabled for runtime, will require a simple
 patch. I still will need to verify the impact on compile time, having
 removed the artifact dependencies as well.

 There's also a number of build variants to we can configure for beta,
 nightly and some others which add debugging builds, etc.

 fenix uses SDK 28 (while toolchain, android-components uses 29). I'll
 align these.
