We haven't used this pref in a while. We stopped adding it in revision 106592f58365ca74fb7446ca751df08904021b9d. We also need to stop trying to rename it, and we should remove it if it exists. For 3.0.0 we should go through the prefs that we're migrating and removing and stop migrating/removing them if we've been doing it since before 2.0.0.
