Does this also mean that the biggest of my 7 Addons will be
removed from AMO (QuickFolders, quickFilters, SmartTemplate4) ? If
there is no support for Thunderbird / SeaMonkey I would also not
be interested in working as AMO editor anymore....<br>

How many 100s of (Mail only) Addons would that drop? With fulltime
development on Tb being halted, IMHO Addons are more important to
the community of our users than ever.<br>

I had a somewhat disturbing exchange with RattyAway today in
#maildev:<br>

here's a link to the chat that RattyAway talks about:<br>

<br>
So, what are we seeing here?<br>
<br>
I find it unsurprising that AMO and Marketplace are going to
merge. I find it much more surprising that Thunderbird and
SeaMonkey add-ons (sound like they) are not going to be
included in that transition. If my interpretation of that is
correct, that's a pretty serious hit to TB and SM users and
our add-on development community.<br>
<br>
What do we do?<br>
