Comment:

 Ok. This is done in mikeperry/bug5965. I've commented each function,
 object, and XPCOM component with "Bug 1506" and a Priority level. P5 is
 highest priority. Here's the level descriptions:

 P0: Toggle mode code. It needs to die.
 P1: Feature we could live without/do another way
 P2: Mildly useful feature/enhancement
 P3: Fingerprinting and linkability defenses; more useful features
 P4: Important privacy features, including New Identity
 P5: Proxy bypass/state leak issues

 Some functions were given multiple priority levels (one for Android, one
 for Tor Browser, one for Firefox). The reasoning is described in the
 comments.

 The idea is that these priority levels will guide #1506. We'd start with
 P5 code first and work down, probably stopping at P2 or P1.

 Do either of you have any additional suggestions to help make your lives
 easier?
