Triple negative here.
As written this says that it is not true that everybody working at
Mozilla can see the problems.
As evidenced by his second paragraph, Philip meant "it is false that
nobody working at Mozilla can see the problems". Neither he nor I are
paid employees of Mozilla AFAIK, but we are both "putting some work
into" Mozilla-family products (SeaMonkey and sometimes Gecko or
Toolkit), and I can tell you that we are deeply concerned.
I think that on several key points (version numbering one of them)
SeaMonkey made wiser decisions than Firefox in the past, and I hope that
it is going to go on that way, but I don't have an infallible crystal
ball: I'll know what my future is when it becomes my present, and by the
time I realize what it means, it'll already be my past.
About the discoverability of version numbers, bug 678775
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678775 has been mentioned
(perhaps without the bug number) in this thread. I'm added the link so
that anybody can go and see (but this is somewhat off-topic in the
_SeaMonkey_ newsgroup since it is a Firefox bug and AFAIK Seamonkey
isn't going that way). The bug has been RESOLVED INVALID a few hours
ago, and I believe that that resolution (or maybe WONTFIX) is the right
one, but I'm taking no bets on how long it will be before Asa
Dotzler-Schmotzler (the guy with a big mouth and his foot in it: this
phrase wasn't coined by me but I like it) or someone on his "side" in
this controversy, REOPENs it.
Best regards,
Tony.
