This will be a follow-up to bug 1323845, which will need to change the format of API experiment add-ons to look more like WebExtensions, with a manifest.json file containing API metadata.

This would be useful for the Test Pilot addon and Test Pilot experiment addons.

However, bug 1363624 (allow mozilla extensions to be hidden from the addon listing) would work just as well, since we just need users to not, say, delete the API experiment that provides Telemetry access.

At this point, I'm marking this down as a P2 because I don't think Test Pilot have fully decided a plan yet. When they have, we'll move on that plan and increase priority and assign then.

(after this, will stand-alone WEE's still work?)

Yes, but the packaging format will change, and it's possible we may phase them out if we decide they don't have any compelling use cases.

Been watching this bug hopefully for use in Test Pilot in the not-so-distant future. Are there any docs on how this works?

Not yet. Andrew and I will be adding in-tree docs in the coming weeks. For now, you should probably just look at the tests.
