The implementation of JavaScript BinAST [1] is currently a prototype with
shipping in nightly behind an pref for limited experiments. This prototype
code needs an overhaul to be able to ship and the spec is still very far from
final.

In order to reduce developer and CI costs while we make rapid changes to the
JavaScript parser [2,3], I intent to remove the BinAST prototype from tree next
week in Bug 1642708.

Any future implementation of BinAST will likely be based on the upcoming
JavaScript parser redesign[2].
