You know, while I deeply lament the demise of the Presto engine, I am a bit fed up with the hyperbole used whenever something dares not to stay the same for ever and ever and EVER: - I have seen it when Seamonkey moved to 2.x, - And again when 2.1 moved bookmarks to Places - I have seen it when Firefox moved to the rapid-release train - I have seen it with *every* release of Windows - And yes, I have seen it even in the (largely positive) changeovers from MacOS 9 to OSX and from PowerPC to Intel. There are ALWAYS people who don't want any change. I haven't tried Australis yet. I understand it changes the way we do a number of things. Some of the changes seem interesting, some of them seem "meh". But I don't see anything that would rate as "self-destroying." I understand that it will break some extensions, which is annoying. But while changing stuff entails some risks, standing still is a sure way to die. And any extension which is not being actively maintained is a long-term security and stability risk anyway, because any bugs which are discovered are *not* getting fixed. The general attitude is best reflected in this page: <http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheyChangedItNowItSucks> (beware, TV Tropes is a timesink way, WAY worse than Wikipedia or Facebook) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
