I think it's the wrong thing to do, rude and unnecessary. My view was 
that, with no releases in the next couple of months, it should have been 
left off in commercial and Mozilla to leave room for evangelism of the 
form of "If you add this <link> tag, Mozilla will support your favicon 
in tabs and the URL bar". As it is, such evangelism carries no weight 
because authors can say "but it works anyway".

As it is, I see that we will be stuck with this bad behaviour for many 
years because once it's turned on, it can't be turned off at all easily.

They listened to me, then ignored me :-)
