privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager for Basilisk?

Just wondering if we'll see a version of this FF57 change added to Basilisk?
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1384330

The functionality of this change as a primary purpose was to allow the AntiFingerprinting to work on the following domains:
addons.mozilla.org
discovery.addons.mozilla.org
testpilot.firefox.com

Additionally this change would allow Web Extensions to work on addons.mozilla.org (as per the following article: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/10/27/how-t ... -websites/ )

I do not believe having a defaulted non-existent or false similar to FF57 presents a security risk. Further it allows user choice as to if those domains are protected from extensions and fingerprinting.

If I understood anything wrong, feel free to tell me to shut up, explain it to me, or tell me I need to understand the topic better. Thanks.
