Obviously so. You and everyone else @mozilla.org are quite
conveniently disregarding what you're being told by, well, pretty
much everyone. I say, anyone _that_ comfortable in their position
needs to be fired ASAP.

When was the last time you had a look at mozilla.org's Manifesto, Asa?
And I quote -

"Individuals must have the ability to shape their own experiences on
the Internet."

But we are not. You guys focus on ill-advised, pointless, clueless
things and we're
just supposed to follow through. Oh, post 3.6.x Firefox is an
adventure all right,
you never know what you're going to get. Or: how would you like to
waste all your
memory (or cpu) today, would you like to have a bluescreen to go with
that?

"Individuals' security on the Internet is fundamental and cannot be
treated as optional."

Yeah, everyone's secure, just as long as you let us sucker you into
Rapid Release
Program. And now you're proposing to take it one step further, to take
away last
remaining user control over the process? It's MY computer and I decide
what I run
on it. I do not run Chrome precisely because I do not have any control
over it. Please
stop trying to turn Firefox into a Chrome clone.

"Transparent community-based processes promote participation,
accountability, and trust."

In other words, mozilla.org calls ALL the shots and ALL decisions are
final. The End.
Participate by dealing with it, etc.

No, Asa, if you were working for me, you'd be out the door by the end
of the day. Seriously.
