I gather, then, that there has been no change in Mozilla developers'
practice of adding unilateral language extensions without consulting
anyone,
and in particular without consulting this list.
Get your facts straight, and get off your high horse.
The second argument to eval has been a Mozilla extension since 1998 at
least, it predates ES3:

(1998-4-23 cvs commit, from a Netscape-internal cvs repo)
The only reason it was kept in Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 was for
compatibility with add-ons and applications built on the codebase:

arg)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457068 (report of broken
add-ons)
It is going away for Firefox 3.7:
