I think I probably would have preferred something brief and written in plain English.  Its author was previously a lawyer, and it shows.  I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;s very measured and careful and so forth - but really everyone here can read between the lines that Mozilla want rid of Thunderbird because it&#x27;s tying up their development resources and it&#x27;s not their core focus.<p>I&#x27;m sure everything is complicated at Mozilla because there&#x27;s a Foundation and a Corporation and they work on open-source projects and do &quot;research&quot; stuff (like Servo) and no doubt the lines between all of these things are confusingly blurred (at least to an outsider like me, but maybe internally too), and perhaps that necessitates a hundred line missive from a lawyer about laser focus... but really, does any of it need to be that complicated?
