I haven't spoken up on this subject yet but feel I must respond.
Although on the surface, this appears to be a reasonable response I have
to disagree. I believe you are conflating engineering and financial
decisions with a decision that violated our users' trust.
I second what Bob said here. I don't think that analogy is valid for
the case we're discussing here.
I wasn't intending to argue for or against this specific case, and I
should have made that clear. I trust Li to do the right thing here.
My intent was to respond to Gerv's argument that we shouldn't be afraid
to do what's right. While I agree with that, we also have a duty to
understand the big picture and evaluate all decisions within that
context, rather than in strict isolation to the issue in question. Very
few things in this world are entirely black and white, or entirely
isolated from other aspects of the world. I'll note that this works
both ways, and this case was a perfect example. Something that is par
for the course in China is considered unacceptable elsewhere, and we
have to consider the gains in the local context against the potential
ramifications to Mozilla's reputation and influence overall.
