IIRC this was basically the "other half" of reader view, though I could be wrong.

Yeah, I'd like Pocket to have switchable backends too. I've heard some positive things on this, but I don't recall anything concrete.

"Completely remove" is a pretty nebulous concept, really. You can drag it out of sight to the customizable UI holding area, and the code is lazy-loaded, so it's pretty much gone. One could also argue that any extension isn't gone because one can open the addons page and install it again. Yes, that's different and the addons page is on the Internet while customizeable UI isn't, but it illustrates the point that "completely remove" is nebulous and not a useful metric. For all practical purposes, you can remove Pocket. Does it matter if there's still Pocket related code in the Firefox binary? (which isn't being run or even accessed?) Probably not.
