I don't think anyone disagrees with you here, except if you are saying that somehow keeping the non-OMTC Linux code is critical to attract contributors to Mozilla. I don't think thats the case and I don't think you are trying to say that. Thats what the post was all about. We want to get rid of the old non-OMTC code because its blocking making OMTC better everywhere, including Linux. Andreas > > -David > > -- > 𝄞 L.
