Yes, that was me.

I definitely didn't want to blow off the discussion and I believe I am
one of those who appreciate and listens to any (even negative)
feedback that leads to a better solution. I don't think the post was
well understood so, let me explain again.

The message I wanted to send proposes support for alternative
solutions using extensions - and Firebug is strong in the area of
extensibility.

I believe that the basic activation model built-in Firebug should be
primarily easy-to-use and cover majority of use cases. Consequently,
the model should be extensible enough so, it's possible to append any
new activation features/logic (through extensions) that support other
work-flows and/or new features like white/black lists, etc.

This approach can also encourage extension developers to create
extensions and propose/show better implementation of the activation
model UI. Note that there are already Activation APIs in place and I
am happy to get any feedback how to improve them.

Just to point out my gut feelings. I still think there is no universal
solution (based on all feedback collected over the time) that would
match every-bodies needs - or at least we haven't been successful with
discovering it. It was me who wrote the:
http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/firebug/how-to-enable-and-disable-firebug-12/
post and as you could see there was also a lot's of negative feedback.
So, this is why I said (#3).
