<i>They kept Thunderbird underfunded for a while before pulling the plug via an internal mail.</i><p>Not sure what &quot;underfunded&quot; means here. Thunderbird works. Email isn&#x27;t evolving like the web is, so what point is there for Mozilla to throw resources at it? The announcement was to a public blog, but shared with the core contributors via email first. I think that&#x27;s actually nicer than finding out through Twitter like some other companies do. Your arguments just have no merit whatsoever but apparently you&#x27;re upset that your pet  (and niche) programs don&#x27;t receive the attention you believe they deserve.<p>Typical attitude in open source software: the more free something is, the more entitled people feel about it.<p>What this has to do with Push Notifications is anybodies guess.
