Hi,
So thunderbird 15 breaks the Exchange 2007/2010 Calendar and Tasks
Provider 1.8.5 add on. There isn't a newer version of the add-on

Wouldn't it be nice if the installation routine checked for add-on
incompatibilities *before* it actually installed the new version?

Why would you expect Mozilla to check each and every one of thousands of
extensions, written by other developers, to be compatible with an
updated Thunderbird. Especially when that update also provides security
patches?
I would think that the *user* should be responsible to check that. That
way the *user* would know that this extension still works when mixed in
with all of the other extensions that this *user* has installed. A
compilation that might be unique. A 'one of a kind' combination.
Because they do it *after* installation. Why not do it before
installation instead? I'm not talking about random extensions that are
created off in some backwater corner of the internet. I'm talking about
extensions registered with the Mozilla project, downloaded and installed
from there.
So you are saying that the *user* does not check extension compatibility
*before* the user updates Thunderbird?
Try as hard as they might nothing is idiot proof. Idiots are too
resourseful. :-)
