I love how they opened this, just so they can bury decade-old discussions on features that have occurred on the mailing list and Bugzilla.
"Hey, remember that thing I asked for, and a pull request for this feature is was possibly moving forward?" "Yeah, no, we're setting discussion on it back to step zero, get upvotes on Connect before we'll consider a pull request."
One step forwards, two step back: The Mozilla Way(tm).

You call it 4D Chess, I call it mismanagement. Google, just happens, to be bankrolling the mismanagement by buying their monopoly in the search world.
