The idea is to remove AdBlock from Tails, right?
I also beg to disagree, a few quotes of objections raised on this list:

Same here. Usuability is part of Tails' design, did you recently tried
to browse mainstream websites without AdBlock?

+1 Excellent point.
Moreover, I believe that there are now enough Tails users to ensure a
(quite) good anonymity set.
If the idea is to get a network fingerprint closer to "TorBrowser
outside of Tails", why don't we push things to get it integrated in
Torbrowser, i.e. upstream?
There is room for commentary about the design documentation[1], and
there are still open tickets there[2]
