I will note that browsing around the /Modules page is depressing, because it in no way reflects either the technical nor the political reality of the parts of the Mozilla project that I am knowledgeable about :( I expect this is a well known lament and will therefore limit myself to saying that here is another vote for doing away with the misleading /Modules page entirely, simply because I don't like the cognitive dissonance.
