I'm all in favor of addons as a way to manage complexity. It's
great for me to hear that Hello wants to ship as an addon, as to
me that means that Firefox will continue to think carefully of
issues associated with using complex addons. But it is a good time
to remind ourselves of that strategy. There are many pieces of
Thunderbird that I would prefer to break out as shipped addons
(such as junk mail processing, or LDAP, or account migration) only
because they are major pieces of code only used by a minority that
can complicate the UI and code for the majority.

I am only in favor of Add-0ns if we develop a better configuration
process. I am thinking here of something like the V3 migration
wizard that can be run over and over, suggesting perhaps the 10 most
used features and ending in AMO searches. Our users are not
skilled. They often lack basic skills like being able to right
click without instruction. We still see people who do not 'get'
tabs. KISS applies more now than ever. The general populace see no
reason they need to learn anything to use everything.<br>
