I'd at least like to separate the list of all preferences (and their default values, etc) from the classification of experimental vs. internal vs. debug. Perhaps something like:


PreferenceClassification.yaml

Experimental:
   - AccessibilityObjectModelEnabled
   - AspectRatioEnabled
   - { 
         name: AspectRatioOfImgFromWidthAndHeightEnabled
         enabledFor:
             PLATFORM(COCOA): false
             default: true
     }
   - AsyncClipboardAPIEnabled 
   ...       

Internal:
    - AllowViewportShrinkToFitContent
    - AlwaysZoomOnDoubleTap
   ...

etc.
