I agree. Most bugs or deficits have been brought to attention a long time ago.
Why fix them when you decide not to work on it anymore. My interpretation of
the announcement is:
- We need to gather ressources to do other things.
- We will not provide ressources to improve Thunderbird.
- We will only fix Thunderbird if it is broken.
- If someone wants to work on Thunderbird feel free to do so.
