It is a major discouragement to contributors when their efforts are regressed or discarded because they are in the way and don't matter. It wouldn't be reasonable to continue to expect contributions after doing this. Throwing out non-OMTC OGL without putting effort into making OMTC OGL as functional would be doing just that. This is what happened with native notifications, and I hope we don't have the same situation again here. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
