Comment:

 FWIW: buried in the description are two different needs:

 1) Keeping our alpha and nightly builds still running (that means for
 mobile Fennec based on ESR 68)
 2) Take diverging toolchains into account for moving off of ESR 68 for
 mobile.

 Right now we try to accommodate both of them. We could think about
 splitting that up, though, and only do 2) while having an additional maint
 branch for our alpha/nightly series until we switch that away from ESR 68.
 The advantage of the latter is less complexity due to less fenix-$project
 projects (no need to account for diverging mobile related parts of the
 projects due to ESR 68 vs. non-ESR-68-changes. The downside is another
 maintenance branch and pointing our nightly builds to a different branch
 (even though the latter is just temporarily).
