Incidentally, I noticed that a link to this thread was posted in this bug under discussion and indeed a mention of 'my contribution' to it here.
Seriously guys, don't be fooled by the easy-going conversational writing style that I use, with its many comma splices and unneeded paragraphs. I never write off the top of my head and if ever I write anything even vaguely controversial, it's because I know damn well it's because I can back it up. In this case, with dozens of screenshots and not just one.
It was just that which stumped them on the Cameron Nicks bug. I'm not daft, I'm not going to fall into '
You say this, I say that, let's agree to disagree' type situations because all the data has suddenly vanished, am I? I am going to have, in this case, screenshotted every single point that I want to make well beforehand, aren't I?
I'm just gently reminding people that if they ever want to even slightly suggest that I go around 'making things up', then they are going to regret doing so.

As for this current bug under discussion - this pleading there to be allowed to theme that declining platform is not only undignified and unseemly, but pretty pointless.
I want you all to read again the very first Comment there and then return and let me spell it out.
Description Benjamin Smedberg [:bsmedberg] 2015-11-06 11:09:50 PST
As part of Firefox great-or-dead, we've decided to stop support for "heavyweight" themes which can do arbitrary styling and replace chrome packages.
We may simply remove that support completely, or we may extend lightweight themes with some additional features such as changing colors or icons.
This bug tracks creating a specific product plan for themes. Expected due date 1-Dec.
Get it yet? Who do you think Benjamin is? Who do you think the 'we' refers to ? How does the 'or we may extend lightweight themes' in any way tally with the line that is trying to be pushed there of reducing the scope of Complete Themes and making them easier to make?
Seriously, man up, grow a pair and stop with the pleading for something that is not going to happen.
