Re: Ignoring viewpoints of non-Mozilla-employees can't be the way to go for a OSS project!

2016-05-09 Thread Emma Humphries
I want to point out that the bug in question had 48 Mozillians CC'ed on it,
so any comments on the bug which are extraneous to the subject of the bug
add noise to the signal.

Comments are a place to make a case for a fix, but not indulging in a
jeremiad if a decision is made not to fix.

It seems a bit odd that you're using the "you will lose marketshare" 
argument in favour of your demands, but in the content process bug your 
demands basically boiled down to "you should rename the processes to X, 
Y and who cares if it breaks the browsing experience for people because 
the stuff it breaks doesn't affect me personally" (comments 143 and 
145). I'm pretty sure we'll lose users if we break the browsing 
experience for them.


I engaged in a civil discussion explaining why we couldn't go down the 
route you suggested (I tried to land that originally, and it was backed 
out from Nightly after it became apparent that it was a browser-breaking 
change) and you responded with ranting and accusations of foul play due 
to not being an employee.


I will reiterate what Andrew said - you are not being dismissed because 
you are not an employee. In fact, we engaged in discussions with you 
regarding your concerns and explaining why we were unable to do them. It 
was only after you started ranting because the discussions didn't go 
your way that we started to dismiss you because there was nothing 
constructive to discuss.

There's a pretty big difference between "viewpoints" and abusive

Yeah! This was the way Oracle was going, too...

You should read the complete bug again!
Above were a lot of comments why it is OK or not to break things or rename 
files or not!
So were is really the difference then that I'm not a employee

Same belongs to bug 1219672!
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219672

If Mozilla still don't know that I sometimes give a rant, if thing go really 
wrong, but on the other side my rants were the reasons in the last 2,5 years, 
that Firfox was getting on Windows much better again, then something at Mozilla 
goes really wrong!

Btw.: Seems I and others are still to quit! Firefox is still losing market 
share! And there are reasons for it! Ignore them doesn't help!

I did not mark your posts off topic because you are not a Mozilla employee,
I marked them off-topic (comments 144, 145, and 146) because they are not
relevant to the technical discussion in the bug. The subject of the
bug is "Rename
the content process to something intelligible". Your posts are talking
about extensions breaking with e10s, how you are fine with breaking
Silverlight and Flash, and saying that Windows breaks software. None of
these advance the state of the discussion in the bug.

While reasonable people can disagree about policy decisions, Bugzilla
