Just read this article from ZDNet, how, if at all, will this affect SM?
Probably not much, if at all.
1. Seamonkey is not a Mozilla product. Yes, Mozilla lends some
infrastructure resources to the Seamonkey team. But Seamonkey product
decisions are outside the scope of the Mozilla CEO. It's barely possible
that Mozilla might stop providing those resources to the SM team at some
point in the future, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
2. Brendan Eich is not some outsider brought into Mozilla who doesn't
get how things work. He's a very, very long-time Mozillian -- he was in
Netscape since 1995, where he created Javascript; he was part of the
team who originally spun off Mozilla from Netscape; and he has been CTO
of Mozilla since 2005.
All in all, he wasn't as much "hired" as CEO as "promoted".
One concern might be if the political dispute between the new CEO and
Mozilla developers (including a boycott by some developers) affect
availability of technology that Seamonkey ultimately needs.
