You have it exactly right, except that some of the Toolkit devs were,
er, far more blunt and somewhat disdainful when they said that to us.
According to threads previous about developers I though that developers
were made out to be just like regular users? The Comment above proves a
point I tried to make but was scoffed at. Like I said developers either
design for Board of Directors, and the stockholders; or the developers
for themselves and other developers. The user isn't in the equation.
Dropping support for migration this soon seems likely to leave more users on
1.1.xx than to force users to migrate before 2.0 has been out long enough to
knock off the rough edges. Even Microsoft gave up trying to force upgrade by
beating with a stick, you can still go from XP to Win7, and old applications
from before XP still work (for the most part).
It isn't us (SeaMonkey developers) that need to be told this :(
