Comment:

 I don't see any telemetry that is not already disabled by the prefs, but
 there's unnecessary code that is removed on build time when
 MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING=0, and also it disables the telemetry section in
 `about:preferences`, making it impossible to enable. So I think it's good
 to have:
