Thanks for that too!

Yes, I'd like something like that (or at least, a version that says
you can opt-out of the ability for Mozilla to see them).  While the
code currently doesn't allow such access, nothing prevents that code
from being changed a year down the road.  Note that this doesn't mean
there is any reason to believe the change will happen; it's just that
Mozilla has previously promised it can't, there would be less of a
temptation for people in the furture to change.

Yep, I had been lurking around the identity lists and caught some of
that discussion, with the different classes of data and all that.  The
pages I can find on WikiMo seems to say that this doesn't actually
happen, though, so yay.  I _think_ this means that Mozilla still has
no ability to read my data, similar to the way Weave did things?  That
question is somewhat academic, though, since code can always change,
but explicit promises otherwise combined with a promise to not go back
on your promises, not as much :)

As long as Mozilla doesn't have the keys (Weave-style), that doesn't
matter :)  And even if it does, reasonably timely is still better than
never :)

(The other mail is received too, but I don't have any particularly
interesting comments.)

Thanks again for your responses,
