Why do they get priority? They made their choice. Kick the idiots off the machines, put someone more deserving on.

Mozilla nuking old Firefox add-ons was one of the most hostile and destructive acts in computing history. Just comically clueless. Even apart from how it directly harmed me, it demonstrated to all the developers, most of whom were working for free, that their time and dedication was of no value at all to Mozilla. This of course caused a mass exodus of add-on devs, further worsening Mozilla’s and Firefox’s position and market share.

Hilarious mismanagement — or would be if it didn’t harm me as much as it did. Someone could write a good business book based on Mozilla’s actions with Firefox that basically consists of: “Do the opposite of what those clowns did.”
