That was not included because, AFAIK, there have been no serious
proposals to deviate from the current reliance on the core Mozilla
software base, so this has not been a point of contention.<br>
<br>
There have been some discussions to try to increase the overlap
between the Gaia email product and Thunderbird. If Thunderbird
viewed their mission to be promoting the web as a platform, in
compliance with the current overall Mozilla Mission, then we should
be making it a high priority to morph our product into a web app by
increasing overlap with Gaia. That direction is neither encouraged
nor discouraged by this proposal.<br>
