There are areas where third parties are unable to
contribute because APIs don't even exist yet.
There are even situations where module owners
- with the support of [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
are rejecting contributed code for very popular
enhancements because they are too busy with
other things that they can't spend their time on
re-architecting the area in question to create the
needed APIs, but at the same time refuse any
non-generic "workaround" solution.

I think it is necessary to come up with a reasonable
plan of attack for problems of this kind as soon as
possible, but certainly before Mozilla 1.0.
