Sorry, but I don't contribute to the Mozilla project in the hope that I
might potentially be able to influence someone in the future.

I want to give them something that works for them, today, based on an
open environment.

Being able to influence the future shouldn't be an argument when making
decisions about priorities.

If people stop using your software because they cannot rely on it, or
because it causes too much trouble, you've lost your influence anyway.

Cannot happen, Mozilla isn't proprietary.

Taking breaks or slowing down for quality purposes doesn't have to mean
stagnation.
