I'm a Mozilla user since before the Phoenix (later Firebird, later Firefox) came to existence, I began to use the Mozilla Suite (now SeaMonkey) since 2001, and I do remember how the small Phoenix team produced feature after feature in question of weeks compared to the much larger Mozilla Suite team, something that Mozilla lost after the 1.5 Firefox release, maybe this is the Microsoftification of the Mozilla Corporation, maybe this will come to happen to Chrome and the WebKit in the future, I just think Mozilla needs to divide development in subsystems with no set of desired features to be included in the next release, and them merge them when they are complete and stable, giving greater autonomy to developers of each subsystem, something like the Linux kernel and its various subsystems. For the tl;dr folks: Mozilla is just too centralized these days.
