All of the people in and surrounding the Firefox Desktop team knew that this would be coming. We talked a lot about it and the internal communication was great, I think. Yesterday's external communication however brings a slightly uneasy feeling after reading the blog post [1]. I did not feel like this was targeted to the people who will (or rather might) be affected by the changes. It would have been better to describe what we will be doing, why we will be doing it, and more importantly *how* we are going to do it. There are a few lines in the post trying to address this but we should have put more emphasis there because Mozilla is about trust, and also because we could have expected the news coverage to turn out like it did. This tweet quite accurately describes my gut reaction and how others might perceive it: https://twitter.com/zeigor/status/433557177220206592 I fully support the plan and think it is important but I wish we had chosen a clearer way to communicate this.
