seven SM plus PM and FM. And right now they all have negatives for me.
Failure I think I am prepared for. I am not accustomed to having to look for
tricks to make the old look like the new.
And it increases my support for separating things so they are easier to manage
and recover. Which I will discuss again elsewhere.

I wish we chould have retained compatibility for XP but it was just not
possible. Downgrading always came with breakage but it just wasn't until
recently that this became a big problem. But there is no chance that we can
retain compatibility with older versions and get away with it. Too much in
gecko changed and still does. It is a wonder that 2.53.x even mostly works as
always with all the changes under the hood.
