I don’t believe that Firefox going from N paid devs to 0 would be positive. As much as I didn’t care for Pocket + etc, I doubt they consume anywhere near 100% of the paid developer time. As a result, zero paid devs would almost certainly leave less dev time for performance, bug fixes, standards compliance, add-ons, leaving us further away from those goals. Put another way, there’s absolutely nothing stopping this hard fork from happening today. It’s just that maintaining a browser engine is a Herculean amount of work, and having full-time devs is a huge asset.
