Right. As my original mail should have made clear to you but apparently
didn't, the point where I disagree with you is the idea that Mozilla
has "learnt its lesson". Nothing in any Mozilla statement I've seen so
far makes me believe that Mozilla has actually learned the right
lesson, and as Smooge points out, it is beginning to build up a track
record which makes me less willing to just trust that they have without
them explicitly stating it and outlining exactly what they have changed
in order to ensure that more things like this don't happen in future.
