Discussion Topic
------------------
UA:
- the old preferences API has been deprecated. The new API does not work
exactly the same as the old one because it does not automatically look
for default values if a preference has not been set, this is now an
extra step. Not only does this require more coding but it makes it easy
to accidentally introduce behavior changes
Workspace:
- bug 255177 Make Compare a separate component/feature. I would like to
hear comments on it
