MediaKeySystemMediaCapability.encryptionScheme and the associated functionality is currently gated behind a pref. This member allows consumers of EME to check for support of encryption schemes. The spec changes detailing this were merged at the end of 2019.

I believe Safari have shipped this and Chrome plan to do so shortly. As such, I suggest we no longer gate this behind a pref.

I've created https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/467 to track further discussion around this, as discussion since I NIed myself was inconclusive (from what I know).

Unassigning bugs assigned to Bryce because he no longer works at Mozilla.
