What's that more concretely? "Testing and diagnostics" sounds like an euphemism for Carrier IQ-like things, which would be privacy and brand-sensitive. In general, though, it seems to me that having partners patch Gecko is bad in the sense that it makes it harder to move to a future where the device vendor ships Gonk (analogous to Android) and Mozilla ships Gecko updates (analogous to Google Play Services). Have we given up on getting to a future where Mozilla ships Gecko updates and Firefox OS users get an up-to-date Gecko from Mozilla the way desktop and Android users do? -- Henri Sivonen [email protected] https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
