Chris tyler went into some detail about the path forward for supporting system libraries.

Having mozilla internally running unit test on fedora target systems is most certainly going to help.
The patch approval process definitely fell down here. There needs to be a clearer path for patches that are approved by upstream for inclusion in the next mozilla release to be approved for inclusion in downstream packaging in the time between upstream review/approval and upstream release.

It won't, unless mozilla builds with all possible --with-system- and --enable-system- flags.

I think the point is that it will enable them to do that if they want to.

With a Fedora base there's at least the potential to try using the system versions.
