Actually, all real security work is only "visible" through the absense
of problems, not?

me too.
While I dislike cookies a lot, a browser which offers potential
attackers access to all my files scares me orders of magnitudes more.
That being said, what's up with bug 55237? /me hides
In comparison to that, JS managment UI is "fluff", which *should* be put
on the back-burner.
I think, Ten wasn't critizing you, mstoltz, but the fact that "Mozilla"
(which I can only assume means Netscape for him, since the "Mozilla"
project is a conglomerat of many independant, often disagreeing,
entities) doesn't assign enough programmers to security projects.
