Albion, my understanding (just from reading a few blogs such as http://boomswaggerboom.wordpress.com/2007/04/16/javaplugin-cleanup-for-mozilla-20/) suggests that this will not be an issue -- that the replacement technology is a full replacement, and developers using JSObject won't notice any changes. Can anyone provide evidence one way or the other on this?
