[Bug 1885903] Re: Unnecessary patch to cleanup old distributions

[Olivier Tilloy]

Thank you Mark for filing this bug to follow up on bug #1885006.

Dropping cleanup-old-distribution-search-engines.patch sounds reasonable
to me (the description of the patch even explicitly says it can be
dropped at some point in the future), and doing that early in the 79
beta cycle is best.

** Description changed:

  When we raised bug #1885006 we stated that the `cleanup-old-
  distribution-search-engines.patch` is no longer necessary, as this has
  been fixed in other ways, namely:
  
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1647576
+ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1623597
  
  Unfortunately this was not addressed by #1885006.
  
  The patch is no longer necessary - since that bug landed in 76 we have
  been correctly marking distribution engines as app provided, and
  distribution engines previously not marked as app provided will have
  been corrected.
  
  If you feel it is still necessary, please explain why. If there are
  still bugs existing in relation to it, please let us know so we can fix
  the search service properly.
