Comment:

 This is not even close to a blocker. It's a fingerprinting issue with very
 likely low amounts of entropy and the actual source of that entropy isn't
 even available if the battery is fully charged.

 I admit it is a larger concern that there is non-uniform OS support for
 the feature, but that was not documented when I reviewed that API url 5
 weeks ago.

 Feel free to set the pref in TBB builds until someone writes the hooks
 (and the OS support normalizes). Don't close this ticket if you do.. Make
 a different one if you want to use trac to track the change.
