Well yes, it's almost certainly too late for 2.5. But I don't see any reason why you can't just keep working on it and eventually land it.
This does raise an interesting question which has come up before: how does a contributor, paid staff or not, work on and land a feature in FxOS that is not on the roadmap? Voting is one method for measuring support, but I'm not sure we need it. For instance, I rarely vote on anything and just because something doesn't have votes doesn't mean it's not good enough for core. If there is a feature that a developer cares enough about to implement, and nobody thinks it absolutely doesn't belong in FxOS, then by all means she can keep working on until it's ready to land. In other words I don't think the Bugzilla process of discussion/reviews/ui-reviews should be enough.
