This is an is/ought fallacy: dbaron is answering the question "what ought we to do?", while the response above is an answer to the question "what /do/ we do?". See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem There may be a good reason not to close beta, but "we haven't done so in the past" isn't particularly compelling. -Justin _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
