I think it is to early to take this into consideration. There are no near-term plans to change Thunderbird to a model that would allow or require splitting it out. I believe there are also at least a few components that would require glue code or a customized Firefox runtime. For example, I don't think registering for the default mail application in windows is something that would work post xul in a pure html/js environment. If it turns out there is a way to do this with new API few years down the road and it is determined that splitting Thunderbird out again brings new advantages, we can still do that. A lot can change in that time frame, both in Firefox and Thunderbird. I support the merge.
