I wasn't talking about a specific patch. I was just wondering if this is
the way they think about Netscape and Mozilla endusers. When endusers
express their wishes and hopes on the product programmers shouldn't be
so hard with them, otherwise all the average endusers (with a unique
enduser perspective) leave and all that is left for Mozilla is a
homogeneous mass of Mozilla fanatics, resulting in much less feedback to
improve the product for average people.
Anyways... it's maybe hard to believe, but ROT-13 is important to many
many people out there. Mozilla should at least have the capability of
decoding ROT-13.
