sure, it was a comment made in sympathy, not in spite :)

it's just the favorites.xml writing i don't like. problem is that we
cannot have random bits of code writing our files (we have in-memory
copies, changes may get lost if we flush these to disc etc). i'm more
than willing to discuss an interface to expose the requested
functionality, but it has to be just that - an interface. removing the
channels is not necessary, just the code touching our naught bits :)

this was related to 1) - just a general never-do-this. btw, you can
use getAddonInfo('profile') for a shorter version of what you do.

actually, this was also in the favorite management code.
