Hi all,
I hope we can at least agree on fixing the problems with the current
behaviour.
I raised bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1200533 for that.
The clear order of priorities that will be established will be:

Oh come on, this is getting ridiculous.
THIS IS A BUG, no matter how much some contributors want to pretend it isn't.
It's a conceptually simple bug that's been sitting around for at least 3.5
years (since reported).
