I am _not_ saying that we should ignore the priorities of end-users. I
think most people are aware of what end users want. However, Mozilla is
not and end-user product, and Bugzilla and the newsgroups are not the best
way of end-users making their concerns known. The best way for them to do
that, realistically, is give feedback on Netscape 6, and then maybe
Netscape will prioritise their requests. As Netscape controls the largest
engineer pool, the problem is most likely to be fixed that way.

You know as well as I do that mozilla.org is not making a browser :-)
