Because of those reasons, we could drop the requirements and make it a
stop criteria, i.e. we don't release if 10% of users don't switch. This
would at least ensure some consumer feedback.

Also, since one of Mozilla's strength's is it's cross-platform nature
which cannot be really compared with the market leader, maybe we should
increase the test to other platforms and see if we can how many people
we can get to switch.
