Yes, that's where non-technical discussions like those that address
political beliefs belong. However, if motivations are left aside it
should be appropriate to discuss alternative web browsers and email
clients here, regardless of reasons for seeking those alternatives.

In case anyone missed it yesterday, however, the situation has been
resolved. Mozilla is the same organization it was before this issue
came up, although it is now looking for another CEO. Mitchell Baker
directs Mozilla as executive chair anyway, and that hasn't changed.

For those who are still interested, there's commentary in the press
about this episode almost everywhere now, including in the LA Times.

I will stick with using Firefox and Thunderbird, though, and Mozilla
could be run by space aliens for all I care, as long as its software
remains reliable.

I do wish Mozilla would make it easier to directly access local mail
files in Thunderbird like Evolution does, because it's ridiculous to
have to run Dovecot merely to pick up chron job output sent to root.
