Yup, keep reading in the thread and you'll see that concern has indeed  
been registered! As has been discussed before, it's not like we're  
going to lock the CVS trees and walk away, and I don't think all  
development will stop ... but the active development of Firefox  
releases based on that platform and the milestone-based development  
cycles would probably stop.

So EOL doesn't mean "everyone stop coding and doing reviews", more  
that "we don't have a team doing weekly triage on blockers and  
milestone releases".

With that in mind - still concerned?

cheers,
mike
